We promise you a great sense of freedom, with amazing views over the Zaan River and the famous Dutch clouds, that inspired Rembrandt to create his amazing paintings, drifting by. Yet you're in the buzz of Amsterdam in just 20 minutes by car and less than 30 minutes by public transport. 

The houseboat is spacious and really offers anything you might need during your stay, and more. We host up to four guests to ensure you have all the space you might possibly want. The fully equipped open kitchen enables you to cook a great diner. Both bedrooms have an own bathroom and toilet, so no need to share with the rest of your party. And what better place is there to enjoy your breakfast than the wheelhouse with great panoramic views over the water. 

With good weather you can use two outside terraces to enjoy the sun. During the colder months the fire place is a great plus, especially with the comfortable couch to snuggle up. You have a private entrance to the houseboat apartment and we offer parking options as well. We live on the same boat, so we're there if you have any questions, yet full privacy during your stay is ensured.

    You feel and experience De Zaan Show original

    Staying at Juul means staying at De Zaan, near the Zaanse Schans. It is a special experience with many contrasts, from natural to industrial and from tranquility to international bustle.

    A night in Holland

    A beautiful stay in a boat near the best windmills near Amsterdam, a super host. Will be back again. The wind was strong but the boat did not move. A super stay. Ps. Normally I'm seasick quickly and a tiny bit claustrophobic, now nothing!

    Houseboat Juul Amsterdam Show original

    • Excellent location and helpful host Joyce . Its a 10 minute bike ride to the station and 15 mins in Amsterdam central.
    • The boat is very well equipped and comfortable .
    • Improvements- much clearer directions, better info on travel at the boat and local facilities.
    • The bikes were fun but not all have lights - essential when returning from Amsterdam
    • A lot of lights didn't work on the boat.
    • Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

    A week to the rhythm of mills and canals. Show original

    Superb week aboard Juul, the 38m barge, located 20 minutes by tram from the city center of Amsterdam. The welcome from Peter and his wife is touching, even that of Stevie!! All the conveniences are on board: even wifii for workers. Our two daughters loved the autonomy on board, the cockpit, the breakfasts, we the cheese and the herrings. The mills and the farms are at the start of the ballads. Nothing more practical Peter offers bicycles and rosalies. COMPLETE !

    Very nice experience

    We spent just one night in the houseboat but everything was great. We loved the boat, the position, the possibility to use bikes and the breakfast basket .
