Boat vacation rentals in Government of Amsterdam

We had a great time on Egbert's houseboat! He is a very chill guy and the boat is ideal for bigger groups, located in a beautiful area.

Superb stay very close to the Amsterdam city center. Very spacious, high quality and convenient. In particular we enjoyed the fire place (which was pre-arranged for us before our arrival), the fully equipped kitchen and of course the two very friendly cats.

Sandra is a high quality boat captain, pedagogue, anxious to share her passion for sailing, mobilizing the energy of the passengers. His tips for choosing the circuit and the harbor steps are wise and we were looking forward to following them. This historic boat (it is over 100 years old), in perfect condition is ideal to make its first weapons of sailors. The whole family was delighted to participate in the maneuvers. In short, what a positive thing. Thanks to Sandra and her team

Worth it !, Our recomended driver for airport pick-up was an unexpected nice surprise, super helpful!

Perfect location on the canal, yet somehow felt adequately private. Warm as you want it be, hot showers, and great atmosphere with the passing boats.

Harold's cozy houseboat is ideal for a few days' stay in Amsterdam. By public transport you are super fast in the city center! The houseboat is cozily furnished and it's a little adventure to stay in if you're not used to it. Harold is very friendly and even gave us a fruit basket and a bottle of wine to welcome us!

Nice & Cozy place if you are looking for smth different from typical hotels. Enjoyed!

Staying on this houseboat was an unforgettable experience! The location was perfect—peaceful yet close to everything, offering stunning canal views that made every morning special. The boat itself was beautifully maintained, clean, and cozy, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The host was fantastic—responsive, welcoming, and full of great local recommendations. Waking up to the gentle sway of the water and watching boats pass by was truly magical. Highly recommend this unique stay for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

As the rest of the description said . Nothing more to add . But great host

We can really recommend staying on the boat. The location is something special, sitting in the wheelhouse watching the sun go down and the boats coming and going was so relaxing, you are surrounded by water birds and the gentle sounds of the harbour. Soooo easy to get into Amsterdam on the bus and tube. If you want to see more of the area get the bus to Edam, walk to Vollendam then ferry to Marken and a bus back home, great cafes in every town and all are fascinating to walk round. We feel very lucky to have spent time on Johanna.

Amazing beach stay close to Amsterdam. Awesome experience for our family! Sandra was great!

Amazing place to stay at, super warm and cozy, while at the same time being spacious as well. We went as a larger group of people and were very comfortable, the host is very kind and responsive as well. Will 100% be back and suggest everyone to stay at this ship :)

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

Great stay! Would definitely have stayed there again

This was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. If you’re considering staying here, just do it! The location was incredible. We were in the middle of everything and it was very convenient to the train and tram stations. The houseboat itself was perfect. It is small, but that didn’t bother us one bit. We loved watching all the boats go by from the comfort of the kitchen table. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Beautiful establishment, host is excellent at communication. The boat is based very central and was very clean.

Awesome place and views, would totally go back!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and looked like on the pictures. Michiel was very helpful and showed us things to do. It was a really great experience!

Our second stay on Levantus was perfect! Roy and Xander are incredibly friendly hosts and the space was perfect for a few days. The local area is quieter than central Amsterdam which made for a more authentic and calm experience. We had great recommendations of local food spots nearby which we loved! Next time we hope to do some wild swimming from the boat!

Very good stay in the houseboat Well equipped Very nice and helpful host The accommodation is more suitable for 2/3 people than 4 because the ceiling is very low in the 2nd bedroom I recommend it!

We had an amazing time on board Xandra and Marco’s ship “de Volharding”. We stayed one night with 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids). The whole experience of spending time together on their ship was absolutely worth it, and sleeping on board a historical ship gave the trip something extra special. The kids could’t believe it. The location is amazing, right in the heart of the harbour of beautiful Muiden. On board, everything is clean, well organized and cosy. Xandra even put up a small Christmas tree full of chocolates for the kids. Due to the winter season, we didn’t sail, but after talking to Marco, we’ll definately put that in our bucket list!
