Houseboat rental Amsterdam

Amsterdam has for decennia provided perfect locations for living on a houseboat, including in the 19th century neighbourhoods. The canals intersect the city everywhere, the view from the water is relaxing and boats offer a lot of privacy. Also in winter houseboats are good places to stay. They all have heating.

In the course of centuries of expansion of Amsterdam more and more canals have been constructed. The centre used to have 74 canals of which unfortunately 18 were filled in at the end of the 19th century to improve access of the city to traffic. During urban expansions in the 19th and 20th century another 22 canals were excavated around the old city centre.

Apart from water management and residential purposes a houseboat is also a good vantage point for seeing that the canals are intensively used as route for city tours. Circular tour boats ply constantly through the most important canals. In recent years touring around in sloops has also become very popular under the residents of Amsterdam with sunny weekends often being used to sail around with friends accompanied by a large picnic hamper, while eating and raising a glass. In August the annual Prinsengracht Concert is held from a temporary pontoon. The canal is then full of small boats with visitors on the bridges listening enthralled and residents leaning out their windows.
