Great overall experience. It is situated in a calm area but close to all you could want to do as a tourist. We walked everywhere. Sitting on the deck for coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening is great - you get see the boats and also the cute ducks. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. Very clean and all we needed was provided. A little tricky to get on and off with luggage but on arrival we did get help. Something to consider if you have mobility issues.
This stay was beyond our expectations. Our host greeted us at the start to ensure we knew everything about the amenities, and where everything is on the boat and in the neighborhood. He was a sweet soul and instant friendly face we could WhatsApp for any need or question (like where to rent bikes!) The boat had everything we needed and the level of detail and thought to ours stay was obvious; from the mini bar setup, to a luxurious bedding and sauna, it was a Dutch dream come true! After wondering the very lively streets of Amsterdam all day and dodging people, bikes, and cars, the neighborhood is a tranquil zone near the sea. The location is truly fabulous.
Amsterdam has so much to offer, one doesn’t usually think of the rental accommodations as competing for attention. Enter the Réussi.It is newly renovated with fantastic, modern detail and plenty of thought put into the design. Spacious and very well appointed, it comes with luxurious amenities that would be a bonus for any rental, let alone a canal boat. We stayed in the Sailor Suite with its large, comfortable bed, bright portholes and windows. It contains a well-appointed galley with Nespresso machine, microwave, and refrigerator, dishwasher, and stovetop all ingeniously fitted in the compact footprint of a ship’s galley. Let’s not forget the mini washer/dryer to do laundry. There is a petite, but ample, closet to hang coats, blouses, and store items on shelves. Then there is the bathroom. The shower is fantastic, and next to the shower is a sauna that my wife and I used daily. One of the highlights is simply enjoying the chairs on the deck! Whether sipping coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening, we got to enjoy the view, gaze at the passing boats, and soak up the ambiance of Réussi’s neighborhood.Albert and Gerben were the best hosts we’ve ever had. Warm, considerate and with excellent communication. When an error occurred in my planning, Albert worked to help accommodate my new dates. We cannot say enough good things about them and the Réussi.
Der Aufenthalt auf dem Hausboot war spektakulär. Ein wirklich liebevoll und modern eingerichtetes Hausboot mit Liebe zum Detail. Es fehlt wirklich Nichts. Rohan hat uns empfangen und uns alles in Ruhe gezeigt und erklärt. Toll ist die Sauna auf dem Boot. Es ist überhaupt nicht kalt, wir waren im Dezember dort. Es werden alle Wünsche erfüllt, wenn man sie vorher anfragt. Albert ist ebenfalls ein warmherziger Mensch, der uns lieb begrüßt hat. Das Hausboot liegt perfekt zur City und vom Centraal fußläufig entfernt. Mein Mann und ich würden jederzeit wieder Zeit auf dem Hausboot verbringen.
Eine sehr gut ausgestattet Ferienunterkunft die äußerst zu empfehlen ist

About the host
Your host
We're Gerben and Rodinde — a couple who fell in love with Amsterdam, with historic vessels, and with the idea that a truly special stay should feel like nothing else you've ever experienced. Gerben grew up with a deep fascination for ships and the sea. After training at maritime school in his younger years, that love never left him. When the Reussi came into his life — a weathered, characterful historic vessel with extraordinary bones — he knew exactly what he wanted to do with her. He led the full renovation himself, restoring her structure, her soul and her seafaring dignity, deck by deck and beam by beam. Rodinde brought something equally essential: an eye for beauty, a love of elegant detail and an endless dedication to making every corner of the Reussi feel as warm as it looks. From the texture of the linens to the light in the living room, her touch is everywhere. Together, we've created something we're genuinely proud of — and we love sharing it. Hosting, for us, isn't a business transaction. It's an invitation. We want you to feel at home on the water, in one of the world's most beautiful cities, aboard a ship with a story worth telling.
Why they chose this property
The Kalkmarkt is one of Amsterdam's widest and most quietly magnificent canals — and in our view, one of the most underrated addresses in the entire city. It sits right at the edge of the historic centre, where the old trading heart of Amsterdam once pulsed with ships arriving from every corner of the world. Mooring the Reussi here felt right from the very first day!
What we love most is the balance this location offers. You're genuinely central — Dam Square, the waterfront, Centraal Station and some of the city's finest restaurants and museums are all within easy walking distance. And yet, standing on the deck of the Reussi, the canal feels calm, wide and unhurried. The classic canal houses line the quay, boats drift past at their own pace, and the city reveals itself gently rather than all at once.
For us, this is Amsterdam at its most authentic: lived-in, layered with history, and still quietly stunning after all these years. We wouldn't moor her anywhere else!
What makes this property unique
The Reussi is not a converted barge or a floating apartment. She is a genuine historic vessel with real maritime heritage — and she has been restored, from the inside out, by someone who understands what that means.
Both suites — the Captain's Cabin at the aft and the Sailor's Suite at the bow — have been designed as complete, self-contained retreats. Private terraces on the water, a sauna, thoughtfully curated interiors, premium linens, and the kind of stillness you simply cannot find in a hotel room. Every material, every finish, every detail was chosen with intention. But beyond the amenities, what makes the Reussi truly singular is the feeling she gives you. The slow movement of the water beneath you. The view of 17th-century canal houses from your private deck. The sense that you are not just staying in Amsterdam — you are part of its living, breathing waterway history.
There is nothing quite like waking up on the Reussi. We built her for guests who know the difference.
