Houseboat summary

Staying on the water has something beautiful, and especially on this modern and attractively furnished houseboat, built in 2022, equipped with all comforts.

The location is very central, both for the beautiful Monnickendam and the typical Dutch surroundings, as for traveling to Amsterdam. You can reach Amsterdam Central Station in 20 minutes by public transport. 

Free carparking is included which is very close the houseboat as well. And, the harbour also has the possibility for passing ships to visit, this is done at the harbour of Monnickendam and can be booked at the harbour itself.

In case you would like to explore the area by bike, we also have two e-bikes available for rent.

!!! During the boatingseason (roughly from april till october) the houseboat can have a different location in the harbour.
