About this docked boat rental
The Captain's Cabin — aboard the historic vessel Reussi
Some places have a history you can feel. The Reussi is one of them. This beautifully restored historic ship has been transformed — with passion, craftsmanship and an eye for detail — into one of Amsterdam's most extraordinary places to stay. The Captain's Cabin occupies the aft of the vessel: the very quarters where a captain once lived with his family, now reimagined as a refined private suite that blends maritime heritage with contemporary luxury.
The Space
The suite is entirely self-contained, with its own living room, bedroom, bathroom with shower and sauna, and a private rooftop deck that offers sweeping panoramic views over the canal and the surrounding historic architecture. Above it all sits the original wheelhouse — a nod to the ship's storied past, and a vantage point unlike anything you'll find in a hotel.
The bedroom is dressed in fine linens, the bathroom finished with care, and every corner of the space reflects the taste and warmth of the couple who created it. Gerben — a maritime school graduate with a lifelong love of ships and Amsterdam's history — led the renovation of the Reussi himself, restoring her to her former glory. His fiancée Rodinde brought her eye for elegance to every interior detail: the soft textures, the considered finishing touches, the feeling that nothing here is accidental.
Coffee, tea, bed linen and towels are all included. The only thing left to do is sit back on your private deck and watch Amsterdam drift gently past.
The Location
The Reussi is moored on the Kalkmarkt — one of Amsterdam's widest and most scenic canals — in the historic heart of the city, just minutes from Centraal Station. You're within easy walking distance of world-class restaurants, museums, boutique shops and some of the city's finest hidden gems, yet on board, the only sound is the quiet pull of the water.
Getting Here
The ship is located at Kalkmarkt 16 in the historic centre. Access is through a private gate and a broad quayside stairway onto the deck, leading directly to the suite entrance in the wheelhouse.
P.S. Traveling with friends? Our second suite at the front of the houseboat is the Sailors Suite, stylishly designed, also with a private waterfront terrace and the same amenities. Take a look: https://vrbo.onelink.me/ItNz/1m0qrmy6
Traveling with a larger group of friends or curious about a similar houseboat nearby? Then be sure to check out the luxury boutique B&B on the Avontuur houseboat, located on the same canal, diagonally across from the Reussi: https://vrbo.onelink.me/ItNz/wn4ovnkl

Due to a slight mixup with our booking we actually stayed in the Sailors Suite. The owner was very accomodating rearranging our booking. We had a wonderful stay in very unique accomodation. The facilities were exceptional and the cabin was well appointed and spotlessly clean.The area was well located for our needs. I highly recommend this property

We thought the listing looked great and it exceeded our expectations. The space is so well thought out, cozy yet high end. The location was great, e could easily walk everywhere we wanted to go in Amsterdam. We also enjoyed just sitting on the deck and relaxing.

We had a lovely stay at The Captain's Cabin. The location was excellent and it was super fun to watch all the boat traffic buzz by. Gerben was very reachable and the boat was nicely appointed.
