Boat holiday rentals in IJsselmeer

Staying on a boat was a new experience and we found it to be very easy as an introduction. I am 2m tall and headroom was not a problem. Sleep was quite comfortable as was the shower. We enjoyed sitting on the deck admiring beautiful Amsterdam.

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 nice stay on Nova Cura. The place was perfect for us 11 girls and the location is great - restaurants, bars and supermarkets are within walking distance. We highly recommend this:-)

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!

We had a great time staying on Marcel’s boat! It was outside of the city center, but not too far to make daily trips in to be able to see everything. Thanks for hosting us!

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.

Was a great weekend on the boat with friends! Thanks a lot Jurgen!

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.

We had a great stay on the boat! The place is unique, comfortable, and well located. The host was very friendly, welcoming, and available. I highly recommend this unique experience!

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.

Arjan responds quickly and is nice. The boat is a wonderful place to stay. 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!

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.

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

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.

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

Unfortunately, it was only 1 night, but it was an unforgettable one! A beautiful ship that is equipped with every comfort! And that feels very warm and like 'home'! So is the host, very hospitable and friendly. We had 2 fantastic days! Thank you. ❤️

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!

Great stay, brilliant location and it was great that all of us could hang out on the boat instead of being in hotel rooms looking for each other

I’ve never stayed in a boat before, but I’m afraid I will do it more often in the future is all of them are as nice as this!
