Boat vacation rentals in Netherlands

I had a wonderful stay at the houseboat! It’s central so the location is perfect, and the boat was tidy and very clean. Karina was very friendly and proactive, and she also sent me some good recommendations!

Nice place to stay, very atypical!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Can highly recommend staying here. So nice to return to after a busy day sightseeing in Amsterdam. Near bus stop, 10 mins walk away, takes you straight to Amsterdam Central station. Get off at bus stop before station if you do not need metro, we walked everywhere. We used credit card each for bus, swipe on and then swipe as you get off, about 7 euro return. The Johanna is just a joy to be on, comfortable and clean with stunning views. Everything that you need and more is supplied. Sandra and her partner are a joy to deal with, checking in with us to ensure all was ok.

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

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!

Helena's time was just wonderful! Helena is a very attentive, friendly host and the breakfast is excellent! The boat is cozy, very clean and offers all the comfort you could wish for. The area is fantastic, it's quiet, and you can spend a lot of time in nature and enjoy the magnificent views. In the vicinity you can rent bikes and explore the water with SUPs. We highly recommend Helena's boat and will be happy to come back! Thank you for everything!

A great boat in a beautiful setting. Well-equipped and everything you need is there. Excellent communication before and during our stay. The additional electric boat was great for all of us and a wonderful experience. The small town was simply wonderful and easily accessible by electric boat. There's a supermarket and several restaurants. It was a perfect short break.Thank you....

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.

What can I say. Never have been so satisfied with my airbnb stay, like ever. The boat itself is just THE vibe. Very budget place to stay near Amsterdam. Great public transport near the boat that allows to travel to every district. I spent there 2 nights and totally forgot about my life. Total immersion. Aniza is a great person, very straightforward and to the point. The boat "manual", the "do's and don'ts" about this majestic ship were quick and easy to remember. Totally recommend! When I'm back in Amsterdam I'm gonna hit up Aniza right away. Cheers 🥳

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.

We spent a few days in this accommodation and had a great time. The property was clean, cozy and equipped with everything you need. The location is convenient, quiet but close to the main points of interest. Very kind host, helpful and always ready to give us useful advice. An experience we absolutely recommend, we would gladly come back!

Was a great stay, thanks for your hospitality!!

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.

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.

Amazing experience and a wonderful host. Lord of special little touches that make a difference like lavender bags on the pillow ♥️ very easy to get to Amsterdam central just 4 stops on the tram, fantastic 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!
