Almost booked out. We recommend you book soon.
The boat is an old cargo boat from 1907 that was renovated a few years ago into a modern style. The original wooden roof elements from its early days were preserved during the renovation. Once you step aboard, you’ll notice that many nautical details—which give the space a very cool and rustic ambiance—are still visible. The portholes also add to the “ship experience” we offer.
Note that the boat is fully equipped with central heating, so you’re guaranteed to stay comfortably warm all year round. Your apartment has a private entrance, and you don’t have to share anything with anyone.
Outdoors
At the front of the ship, you’ll find a lovely terrace where you can sit and enjoy the view of our harbour.
House & grounds
I’m 46 years old and have been living on and enjoying my houseboat for 9 years now. Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time and effort renovating the boat, and for the last two years, I’ve been hosting guests from all over the world, giving them a taste of the “Amsterdam houseboat lifestyle.” Although I live on the same boat, you’ll hardly notice I’m there. The space is very well insulated, and you’ll have all the privacy you want.
Location & surroundings
There are many restaurants just a few minutes’ walk away. Of course, I’ll share my personal favourites with you. Furthermore, there are plenty of bars just around the corner.
The boat is located in the Oosterdok, which used to be Amsterdam’s old harbour before Central Station and the railways were built around the 1880s. The Oosterdok island is now a high-rise construction site, and our little boat village is actually situated between the oldest part of Amsterdam and the modern island with its expensive hotels and clubs. All other parts of town are very easy to reach on foot, by public transport, and, of course, by bike. There’s a bike rental shop just around the corner.

Since I’m new here on VRBO, there aren’t that many reviews yet. I wish I could share the incredibly positive feedback I’ve received on other websites, but unfortunately that’s not possible.

Compact but ok for three of us - steep stairs if you have issues there. Galley (the correct term as it is a boat!) is moderately equipped- good fridge/freezer. We just enjoyed flaking out at the end of a day of lots of walking. No TV if that is your thing. A great place to stay for first visit to this city. Host very good with communication.

Check in was amazingly simple. Great location and easy access to get to the Centraal station and the city walking (5 minutes). Loved everything about the place.
