Boat vacation rentals in Monnickendam

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

Très bon séjour sur ce superbe bateau, nous y avons passés 4 jours à 13 amis. Bateau très propre, super accueil, super bien placé (ferry gratuit pour aller dans le centre) tout en étant au calme. Supermarché à 5 min. Grand salon et cuisine bien équipée. Merci à Grietje et son mari pour leur accueil et recommandations sur les informations pratiques. 😀👍

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!

Sehr schönes Schiff in super Lage in Leiden! Jede Kabine hat eine kleines Badezimmer. Wir haben den Ausflug sehr genossen.

Heerlijk verblijf met mijn zoontje op De Steert! Goed eten ook in het restaurant van Marianne. De boot is prachtig en knus en van alle gemakken voorzien.

Wir hatten einen gemütlichen Aufenthalten im Winter an Bord. Das Schiff lag sehr schön im alten Hafen mit toller Umgebung. Alles was man braucht ist an Bord. Jurgen und sein Team sind von Herzen Gastgeber. Klare Empfehlung. Nächstes Mal unter Segel 👍🏻

C'était incroyable !!! Quelle expérience et même si le temps n'était pas de la partie, nous avons adoré ce moment de joie et détente en famille. Je recommande vivement cette expérience unique.

Wij hebben met z’n 4tjes geslapen op de boot. Het weer zat niet mee. Waardoor we veel in de boot hebben gezeten. Het was gezellig en knus. Een leuke ervaring en een leuke plek!

Der Aufenthalt auf dem Boot war wirklich top! Marcel war ein sehr kommunikativer Gastgeber und war jederzeit schnell zu erreichen. Die Lage ist ein bisschen abseits des Zentrums von Amsterdam aber mit der Tram oder per Uber gelangt man schnell dorthin. Die Ausstattung lies keine Wünsche offen und daher geht hier eine klare Empfehlung raus!

Arjan reageert snel en is aardig. De boot is heerlijk vertoeven. Ik heb heerlijk geslapen. Ik heb hem feedback gegeven ergens op en dat nam hij serieus. Hele fijne plek en zou zomaar kunnen dat ik nog eens terugkom.

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 hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad en intens genoten van de boot. Alles was voorzien en de boot is fantastisch uitgerust. We misten wel wat (extra) verduistering op de boot, want zonder gordijnen was het zeer snel licht ‘s ochtends. ;-)

Logement atypique et parfait pour les grands groupes. Hôte réactif et sur place si besoin. Emplacement pratique, non loin d’Amsterdam. Je recommande vivement!

Diese Unterkunft auf dem kleinen Boot hat schon einen besonderen Charme, gerade wenn man so wie ich bei trockenem Wetter draußen sitzen kann.

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.

Remco war äußerst zuvorkommend, ein früherer Check-In war problemlos möglich. Auch am Tag der Abreise durften wir das Gepäck bis zur Abfahrt noch auf dem Schiff lassen. Die Lage in diesem bezaubernden Ort war super. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt.

Close to tram and metros, great place to base yourself to see the city. I was attending something at the Ahoy convention Centre and it was really easy to get there and back. Host was extremely friendly and loved the quirky nature of sleeping on a boat

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

Geweldig verblijf gehad! Het schip is van alle gemakken voorzien. Ondanks dat de bedden er krap uitzien, heeft iedereen heerlijk geslapen en was het erg knus. Volgende keer hebben we hopelijk beter weer, dan kunnen we meer van het dek genieten. Dankjewel Xandra en Marco!

Alles bestens! Die Unterkunft ist einfach nur toll, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, Alles sehr gut ausgestattet. Lage superzentral im historischen Hafen neben dem Schiffahrtsmuseum mit Wassertaxistand direkt nebenan. Moniek hat uns auch zum Parken ein Parkhaus direkt um die Ecke empfohlen. Abwicklung sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur bestens weiterempfehlen.

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!
