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 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!

Studio was very comfortable and located in a great area. Being able to watch the boats going by was very enjoyable. Would have liked to have warning about the King's day celebration, especially with regard to not having access to public transportation. Would definitely reccomend the Prinsenboat Studio to anyone lookin for a unique place to stay in Amsterdam.

Peter was an excellent host. He was responsive to any questions, and the accommodations met our expectations exactly. A wonderful week on the canal!

The houseboat was clean and in a great location - steps away from the tram, restaurants and shops. It is a novelty, of course, to stay in a houseboat on the canal and watch all the boats go by right outside our window! It was as described - do make note that this is no coffee, shower soap or shampoo provided. There was a little mix-up at check-in but it worked out. Peter was very nice when we met him. I recommend staying here for a unique experience!
