Luxurious boutique houseboat - Forepeak Suite

The suite includes a king-sized bed with luxurious linens, a modern bathroom, and a built-in sauna for ultimate relaxation. Natural light streams through the boat, highlighting the inviting décor and giving the space a serene ambiance. From your private deck, enjoy the gentle sway of the water and take in the iconic Montelbaanstoren, located just a short stroll away, along with the tranquil beauty of Amsterdam’s canals.

Modern touches like fast Wi-Fi and a Smart TV are convenience, while the thoughtful details make your stay effortless and memorable.

Perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful city escape, the suite combines luxury with modern character, offering a one-of-a-kind Amsterdam experience right on the water.

The houseboat is moored along one of Amsterdam’s historic canals in the heart of the city. This area is known for its calm atmosphere while still being very central. From the boat, you are surrounded by water, classic canal houses, and tree-lined quays, giving a true sense of Amsterdam’s maritime character. Many of the city’s main attractions, cafés, restaurants, and public transport connections are within easy walking distance, making the location both peaceful and highly convenient. Staying here offers a unique perspective on the city, right on the water yet close to everything Amsterdam has to offer.

The ship is located at Oudeschans no. 5P in the historic center. Through a footbridge you can enter the deck and acces the private entrance of the suite.

My B&B is located on the Oudeschans, one of Amsterdam’s most picturesque canals, where historic warehouses, houseboats and quiet quays come together. This is the heart of the old city centre, within walking distance of Nieuwmarkt, the Montelbaanstoren and the lively Zeedijk with its great restaurants and cafés. From here, you can easily explore Chinatown, the Waterlooplein flea market and winding streets filled with boutique shops, coffee spots and hidden courtyards. Despite the central location, Oudeschans feels surprisingly calm—perfect for unwinding by the water after a day of exploring the city. This is Amsterdam at its best: authentic, vibrant and wonderfully relaxed.

The area is very well connected by public transport: Nieuwmarkt metro station is just a few minutes’ walk away, with direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and Schiphol Airport. Several tram stops are nearby, making it easy to reach museums, shopping streets and other neighborhoods. Of course, the best way to explore Amsterdam is on foot or by bike—and from here, everything is close by.

If you are arriving by car, please note that street parking in the city centre is limited and paid. A convenient option is Parking Centrum Oosterdok, a large, secure parking garage within walking distance of the B&B, known for its attractive rates compared to street parking. Many guests also choose to use a Park & Ride (P+R) facility outside the city and continue by public transport, which is often the most affordable option.

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.

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.
