One has to remember that you’re on a boat and not in a hotel room but sitting out on deck in the evening with snacks and a drink can’t be beat. Great location and host!

Wonderful experience staying on Mathys' houseboat! Communication was excellent through WhatsApp, he was helpful & accommodating for whatever we needed. The boat itself was fantastic - roomy, central & a great perch for people watching!

Amstel Dream Boat

We were very impressed with the host’s communication! The boat has a prime location with the feel of full immersion into daily Dutch life, super quiet nights with close proximity to all of the activity in the city center. The most unique experience either of us have ever had in the Netherlands and most certainly both of our favorite trips! Thank you so much!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay in Mathys houseboat! The views at night of the romantic skinny bridge alit were gorgeous and the glimpse of other boats cruising by the open portholes of the boat made you feel like you were in the midst of it all. A comfortable walk to the Van Gogh Museum and The Anne Frank House as well as great restaurants. We walk away with great memories of our experience here.
