Our ship is sailing throughout most of the year, but every winter we dock in Rotterdam during the winter season. This is when we warmly welcome you aboard! 

The ship was built in 1904 as a sailing freight ship. Although she is renovated, we are glad to say that we have maintained the authentic character of this old lady. On the deck you can enjoy the wonderful massive masts, standing tall and proud. Below decks there are 7 basic yet cozy cabins.

On the isle there are two compact bathrooms with a shower and sink. Furthermore there are two separate toilets.   If you book up to 2 persons, you get a 2x4m bedroom with 2 bunkbeds. If you book with 3 or 4 guests, you het a larger room (3x4m) with 4 bunkbeds. 

The whole ship is equipped with comfortable central heating so be assured that you are nice and warm even on the coldest winter nights.  

In the shared lounge area you can relax with a cup of coffee or a drink. The kitchen is equipped with a 6 burner gas stove with oven with which you can prepare the most delicious dishes yourself. Furthermore you will find a 225L fridge, 40L freezer, coffee maker and cooker. On request my wife Monique is there to assist you in the kitchen.

Access for guests

The ship is docked in the Wijnhaven, a tidal port which can make the ship somewhat more difficult to access in certain cases (low/high water). A gangway is present to let you get aboard safely. Please note that this might be not very suitable for elderly people and young kids.

Be welcome aboard!

Upon arrival you will be warmly welcomed by host Sipke and/or hostess Monique. They will show you around on the ship and are happy to serve their guests.

After a good night's sleep on the ship, a nice breakfast is available for you in the morning. For this we ask a small fee of 7.50 euros per person. We wish you a pleasant and comfortable stay on board!

About the area

Our city harbor has a very cozy atmosphere. Not only during the day when you can stroll around and enjoy the great architecture but also at night with the many lovely lights shining on all the ships that are docked here.

    Charming accommodation with warm hosts in a central locationShow original

    We spent two nights in a 2-bed cabin on the "Sudermar" . Sipke gave us a warm welcome, explained everything well and prepared a wonderful breakfast for us in the morning. We also slept well on board; only for very tall people could the beds - of course - be too short; they were just right for us. And the location in the Wijnhaven can't be beat: You can walk to important sights such as the Maritime Museum, the market hall or the cube houses in just a few minutes. We recommend!

    Great location, nice host

    Our family of four had a great stay on the Sudermar. Sipke made us feel very welcome. Although quite basic, the accommodation was both functional and cozy. The only drawback was that there was no WiFi, even though the description said there would be. The location was the best, close to the center and the old harbour.

    Superb houseboat experience in Rotterdam

    I was in Rotterdam this week for business and I always like to find some quirky, inspiring place to stay. This time I chose to book a room on this wonderful 114 year old ship in a lovely little harbor in the city centre. And how much I enjoyed it! The room is basic, but that was greatly compensated by the shared living room where I had some great conversations with other guests aboard. Don't expect a hotel room, but instead get ready for a very personal and unique experience that can not be matched by any accommodation on land as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for having me Sipke!
