About this docked boat rental

The Prinsenboat Studio

Create a memory of your stay in Amsterdam on board the Prinsenboot that you will cherish forever.

We take pride in offering a residence that is warm, inviting, comfortable and romantic. From the first day of your arrival at The Prinsenboat to your last day with us, we will do our utmost to ensure your experience lives up to your expectations.

If you are celebrating a special event such as a birthday, anniversary or reunion, we can help make it a unique experience.
You will immediately notice the difference between The Prinsenboat Studio and an Amsterdam hotel.

Children are thrilled to stay on The Prinsenboat. Maybe even more than adults. They are fascinated by living on a house boat where they can experience life on the water and enjoy watching the waterfowl and passing boats.

The Prinsenboat Studio consists of a very comfortable and romantic Studio of 27m2 from where you have a water view of the historic 17th century Prinsengracht with its patrician houses from the Dutch Golden Age.
When opening the large sliding windows you immediately feel the vibrations of the Prinsengracht.

The canals were, and still are, fundamental to Amsterdam, of great cultural and historical importance.
In 2010, the World Heritage Committee decided to add the 17th century canals area in Amsterdam to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The Prinsenboat is located, in the Prinsengracht, in the midst of all this beauty.

We had to say goodbye to the old Prinsenboat but we succeeded in building a new Prinsenboat with all modern conveniences; such as floor heating, your own private bathroom with shower, toilet, and wash basin, while preserving the old exotic features such as the opium bed and the wood carvings.

The location of the Prinsenboat couldn't be more perfect; all major attractions of the city Center are a 10 or 15 minute walk away; Museumplein, Anne Frankhuis, Magere Brug, Hermitage museum, Heineken brewery, the trendy Albert Cuypmarkt, Bloemenmarkt, Waterloopleinmarkt etc.
Nightlife is also within walking distance; from the clubs on Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein to the famous Gay Venue street; Reguliersdwarsstraat.
No need for a taxi after a night out.

The Prinsenboat Studio is part of The Prinsenboat and offers you a private studio of 27 m2 with a breakfast bar with fridge, coffee and tea making facilities, microwave, toaster, cutlery, cups, plates etc. Everything you need for a relaxed breakfast .
In our experience, our guests prefer their privacy more than being woken up early in the morning for breakfast.
Breakfast is not included. Neither do we provide breakfast items.

Unfortunately, the strict rules of the city of Amsterdam prohibit us from having a kitchen in The Prinsenboat Studio, which means that we cannot offer you cooking facilities. You have no stove and no sink.
Fortunately, around the corner, in the Utrechtsestraat, there is a wide variety of nice international restaurants. In the nearby, trendy, Albert Cuyp area you will find, next to the street market, also great authentic Surinamese dishes and a wide range of reasonably priced eateries.

The sleeping area with an antique king size teak bed, 160 x 2.00m. is separated from the rest of the studio by a large antique wood carved panel from Indonesia. The legs of the bed are huge dragons; chase the dragon (smoking opium) ……… We found it in Indonesia, in what was said, an opium kit.
The couch is extendable to a bed of 1.40 x 2.00 m. And is suitable for two persons.

The Prinsenboat Studio has a maximum capacity of 4 persons.
We have a minimum of 3 nights. (sometimes 2 nights as an exception, the calendar will automatically show what if an exception is possible.)

Wake up in the morning to a spectacular view of the canal of the Prinsengracht, take a walk through Amsterdam, come home at the end of the day in the tranquility of your private studio on the water, relax and watch life on the Amsterdam canals pass by.

Experience historic Amsterdam in a very special way; live on the water!

When in Amsterdam, stay on a house boat! This was such a cool experience for our family, the kids loved waving to the passer-bys and the location was perfect for sightseeing! Great shower and while there isn't a "true kitchen" the necessities are plenty to support small meals on site!

The property was charming. Imaginatively decorated, right on the Prinsengracht canal, and complete with a huge white swan.I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It does not have (nor does it claim to have) a full kitchen (it has a 'frig, coffee makers, etc.). It has no laundry facilities (and does not claim to have), but there is a good laundromat about a block from the houseboat. Its steps into the boat and internal to the boat can be difficult for someone who is very short and old (86 years) with bad knees. The owner and I talked about resolutions to this issue, and he may modify with grab bars or something like that. .

The location of Prinsenboat is great, right in the middle of a lovely area with restaurants, bakeries, shops,bars, galore. But the place is part of the owner's house, and you can tell from reading the book he leaves there that he clearly resents having to rent part of his house out and in his "welcome book," he mostly seemed unhappy to have us there, complaining about slamming doors, using too much water or heat or leaving our devices to be charged. I hate to leave negative reviews because I own a VRBO myself, but this is not a great place to stay - it's very small and cold and you have to crawl over each other to get in and out of bed, all of which could be overlooked, but the main issue is that the owner clearly doesn't want people there! I can't recommend it. There are other places to stay in the same neighborhood - I suggest you go for onw of those.
