About this property
Luxurious wellness houseboat - Captains Cabin
The Captains Cabin is located in the rear part of the ship. Where the skipper used to live with his family, we have created a comfortable suite with a living room, bedroom, toilet and shower/sauna. And don't forget the wheelhouse and the wide roof terrace: on top of the ship, they offer panoramic views of the canal and the nearby historic buildings.
Bedding and towels are included in your stay, as well as coffee and tea to enjoy together while you can enjoy the tranquility and gently advancing boats.
Our houseboat has multiple private areas. You’ll be staying in the beautiful suite shown in the photos, which is your private space during the stay. Other parts of the boat are not included.
To make your stay even more memorable, guests can enjoy the free use of our two canoes at no extra cost. Explore the surrounding waters at your own pace and experience the beauty of the area from a unique perspective.

We had a lovely stay at The Captain's Cabin. The location was excellent and it was super fun to watch all the boat traffic buzz by. Gerben was very reachable and the boat was nicely appointed.
We thought the listing looked great and it exceeded our expectations. The space is so well thought out, cozy yet high end. The location was great, e could easily walk everywhere we wanted to go in Amsterdam. We also enjoyed just sitting on the deck and relaxing.
Due to a slight mixup with our booking we actually stayed in the Sailors Suite. The owner was very accomodating rearranging our booking. We had a wonderful stay in very unique accomodation. The facilities were exceptional and the cabin was well appointed and spotlessly clean.The area was well located for our needs. I highly recommend this property
I cannot recommend this listing enough. They thought of everything you could want inside the house, the location is fantastic and the communication was seamless. You should definitely rent the Captains Cabin if you are even partially thinking about it. Just do it!
Do not hesitate to book your stay here! The boat is beautifully renovated, has an incredibly comfortable bed, and, most importantly, is hosted by the loveliest family you'll meet in Amsterdam. From the day I arrived, I felt graciously welcomed with a warm authenticity that is hard to come by these days. The location is incredible. So close to city center (10 minute walk from Centraal Station) and yet when you return home, it feels like a quiet oasis away from the hubbub of the city. There are lovely patio chairs to sit out and relax as you gaze across the canal. Gerben and Rodinde are ready to provide you with any recommendations or information you might need. It is truly a magical place to stay, and I can't wait to return!
Where to start??? Gerben (and Rodinde) was the ultimate host, the houseboat was incredible, and the location was exceptional. We didn't know what to expect since the property was brand new to VRBO, so you can imagine our surprise and delight that EVERY detail had been thought through. From heated floors to plenty of kitchenware to a lighted mirror in the bathroom (not to mention the fancy Japanese toilet and sauna!), we felt very pampered. For my daughter and me, it was the perfect place to spend a few days and decompress after she returned from Semester at Sea. We had the best time sitting on the deck and waving to boat tours going by! We were also surprised how quiet the neighborhood was despite its proximity to the train station and the heart of the city. We are so grateful to Gerben and Rodinde for helping us create such beautiful memories and will absolutely return one day!
The houseboat is central to everything. It absolutely was the best! The host is stellar. The houseboat was so so comfortable. All amenities have been thought thorough so nothing, absolutely nothing was missing. Beds, bedding super. Can’t say enough good things about this property. It’s the only place you should be staying in Amsterdam. Thanks for a memorable vacation. Best money we have ever spent
Amazing location with fantastic views. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting easy walking access to almost anywhere in Amsterdam.

This is an excellent place. We loved everything about it. The host was very responsive and friendly once we arrived. The boat is stocked with the necessities and even has a sauna! It is in an excellent location to walk to shops and restaurants, to catch public transportation, or rent bikes. We loved having a drink on the deck in the evening and watching the boats go by on the canal.
Amsterdam is een nieuw juweel rijker! Deze B&B combineert moeiteloos elegantie met comfort. De aandacht voor detail in de inrichting en service was opmerkelijk. Heerlijk centraal gelegen met alles op loopafstand. De tips van de gastheer voor lokale bezienswaardigheden waren spot-on. Dit was zonder twijfel een van de beste accommodaties waar we ooit hebben verbleven. Vijf sterren zijn eigenlijk niet genoeg!”
