Boat vacation rentals in Amsterdam

Great place, great neighborhood just outside the busy city center. The space was bigger than I expected, with a super comfy berth and a large bathroom. Definitely recommended.

Lovely location, excellent accommodation and Egbert was a really nice fella, we really enjoyed our stay on his boat

If you want a true taste of Amsterdam, Jaap’s place is a perfect fit. The historic accommodations right on the canal make you feel like one of the residents. Sitting on the boat and watching the other canal boats go by was a favorite pastime of our stay. Nighttime was gorgeous with the lights on the boat and the city reflecting in the water. Inside, the space was so unique and perfectly accommodated the four of us! Stores to purchase delicious baked goods and groceries were nearby as well as places to sit down and grab some local fare. We loved our stay here and already are talking about how we can come back to Japp’s amazing canal boat! We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to share in a true taste of this very special city!

We had an amazing stay on the boat! Our group of eight friends found everything clean and well-maintained. The two showers were a big plus, and we loved the common area for hanging out. The Bluetooth speaker was a great touch too!

The house boat was just as it looked in the pictures! It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 4. It was perfect how the kids sort of had their side, or wing, and my husband and I had our space in the master bedroom, on the other side. We all slept very well! We loved the cats, Skip & Bo. We are animal people, so it was fun having them come and go, and socialize and snuggle with us! The views were amazing and there were plenty of spots to just chill when we weren't out exploring. The house boat was very walkable to many fun spots and different areas. We definitely felt like we were staying in someone's home versus a rental. Enjoyed all of the personal touches in the kitchen as well! We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend Joost's place without hesitation!

We stayed several places in the Netherlands and our time with Sandra was everyone’s favorite. The boat is small (like all boats) but our group of 16 was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook our meals and hang out in the dining area. You are the crew—Sandra is a great teacher and host. Great communication and suggestions for a sailing schedule. We loved Enkhuizen the most!

Very nice ship in a great location in Leiden! Each cabin has a small bathroom. We really enjoyed the trip.

Wonderful stay with my son on De Steert! Good food also in Marianne's restaurant. The boat is beautiful and cozy and equipped with all the comforts.

Magical boat near a wonderful beach and easy to get into Amsterdam!

At first, we were a little reluctant because the boat is really right in front of the restaurant, like on a silver platter, but it was great. For a few relaxing days just away, it's perfect. Like a little camping trip on the water. The heat in the boat was bearable.

Marcel was a great host and was easy to communicate with. The Airbnb was fantastic and provided us with everything we needed.

Nice host, nice space. Bedrooms are of course small. Beds are good. No dishwasher. We didn't mind but good to know. Beautiful berth.

Arjan is very responsive and kind. The boat is lovely to stay in. I had a great sleep. I gave him feedback on something and he took it seriously. Very nice place and I could just come back again.

We had a wonderful time on Paul's boat. Paul was a great host who communicated early and was always available to answer questions. He also met us on our arrival and gave us a tour of the boat. Everything is lovingly designed, and we loved the special atmosphere and the unique charm of the old sailboat. Basic amenities for everyday life (towels, pans, kitchen seasonings, toilet paper) are provided. Of course, many things are functionally furnished, in keeping with the space—that's just how it is on a boat. I'm 1.86m tall and didn't have any major issues with space other than the upper level being slightly* shorter than me. There's several heaters and a heated blanket for cold days. There's even a bathroom on the boat which was perfectly functional. Since you can't flush paper, we made use of the bathroom facilities in the harbor for some things which was also convenient. We would definitely recommend Paul's boat for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary!

Great Host and great Stay. Easy Kommunikation. We did go sailing with a skipper the host kindly arranged for us, wich was a great experience.

We had a lovely stay and intensely enjoyed the boat. Everything was provided and the boat is fantastically equipped. We did miss some (extra) blackout on the boat, because without curtains it was very quickly light in the morning. ;-)

This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever booked or stayed at. Gerben and Albert were excellent hosts and were so kind and friendly! The houseboat looked even more extravagant than in the photos which I didn’t think was possible! I would 100% book again and cannot wait to be back in Amsterdam to stay here. Also the location was perfect, within the heart of Amsterdam with so many shops, restaurants, and bars nearby.

This was a fun place to stay. There are 2 transit stops within a 5 minute walk. It was a few minutes walk from the metro station and super easy to find. Koko was responsive and made sure to communicate before check in so it was a breeze.

An idyllic way to visit Rotterdam. This tranquil area with many houseboats is an ideal way of relaxing. Much prefer the sound of ducks quacking in the morning than the sound of hotel doors banging. Metro, tram, water taxi, and grocery shops all within a 7 min walk.

The boat Amalia is unique and well placed for both transport and exploring the wonderful city of Amsterdam. We really enjoyed our unforgettable stay.

Had a great stay! The ship has all the comforts. Despite the fact that the beds look cramped, everyone slept wonderfully and it was very cozy. Next time we hope to have better weather, then we can enjoy the deck more. Thank you Xandra and Marco!

Everything is great! The accommodation is just great, we felt very comfortable, everything very well equipped. Location super central in the historic harbor next to the shipping museum with water taxi stand right next door. Moniek also recommended us a parking garage right around the corner for parking. Processing very nice and easy. We highly recommend this property.

Fantastic stay! The facilities were top-notch—clean, modern, and had everything we needed. The location was truly special, offering both tranquility and memorable family experiences on the lake. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!

very nice for groups!
