Boat vacation rentals in Frisia

We loved our stay here. It was central to everything we wanted to see and do, incredibly walkable, lively and comfortable. The space was exactly as it appeared in the photos, and it was a very unique way to experience Amsterdam and everything it has to offer! If we are back in the city we will certainly be booking again!

We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend aboard Johan's houseboat, in a great location in the Jordaan! It was an experience simply not available in a hotel or B&B. We drank morning coffee and late afternoon cocktails on the deck whle soaking up the few remaining days of late summer sun. It was ideally located close to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and even weekend organic food and flea market, and a short walk to tourist attractions in the old city center. If not up for a longer walk along the canal to the museum quarter and beyond, a public transportation options were always available nearby. Communication prior to arrival and during our stay was proactive and prompt. The inside of the houseboat was even more spacious than we anticipated, and the beds were comfortable. We'll definitely opt for a stay here during our next visit to Amsterdam!

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

We had a great time and couldn't believe our luck to spend the night on a ship in the middle of Groningen. Warmest recommendation!

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

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!

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.

It was amazing!!! What an experience and even if the weather wasn't there, we loved this moment of joy and relaxation as a family. I would highly recommend this unique experience.

Very nice peaceful location

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!

We enjoyed our stay on the boat immensely! Valentine provided us with a little extra electric boat just to get around. The main boat was moored at a little island which had plenty of space and allowed us to setup extra tents. We stayed with 5 kids and 6 adults. Everything worked out great!

Steven was absolutely amazing! The boat is lovely and well situated and he went absolutely above and beyond to help us out on our stay - he even brought us out on his tugboat for a test run! Could not recommend enough thank you so much for our stay 😊😊

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. ;-)

had a great time in this boat. lovely lady

Gerben’s home was a last minute booking for us and we were beyond pleased with the experience. They were gracious to meet us at check in and provide a tour of everything we needed to know. The rest of the day was spent enjoying the great canal views and walking the nearby neighborhood. The attention to detail made the overnight comfortable and we would happily be repeat visitors.

We were in Bremen with a group of four women and stayed on the sailing yacht. It was just right for us, as we wanted to try something different and the location is great. The host Bastian was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. Check-in and check-out could be adjusted in time, which made our trip even better. Everything was very clean on the sailing yacht and everything was sufficient from the place. Will definitely visit again.

Thank you for a pleasant stay on your ship. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back. The location of the ship is also particularly nice. In the surrounding area there are many excursions to beautiful nature reserves, and you can easily explore with boat tours.

We spent a wonderful time in Amsterdam, staying at Annelieke and Eli's boat. The location is beautiful, peaceful and soothing, and yet the center town is easily accessible through public transport or by bike (which are included in the rental). There's a local supermarket and a bus stop nearby (5-10 minutes walk). The boat in itself offers everything one might need to spend a nice few days in Amsterdam, and the bed is particularly comfortable. Furthermore, Annelieke was extremely reactive and friendly. All in all, a perfect stay!

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!

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!
