UNIQUE STAY ON THE WATER - CLOSE TO AMSTERDAM!

Ahoi! Welcome on board!

This is your captain speaking.. It’s my pleasure to show you the most unique stay you’ll probably ever find on AirBnB in The Netherlands. This unique lifeboat has such a great story behind. Once, this boat was being held on a very special ship called Polarstern with its homebase of Bremerhaven – Germany. The Polarstern, which is still active and running, is doing research at the polar circle in Antartica. They do something awesome for the science nowadays. One of the most valuable studies they do is all about the research of the melting ice level which is increasing every single year. This boat had the really important function to help all the crew to evacuate in case of emergency, luckily it never went that far. But they also took this boat into the ice floes when the researchvessel couldn’t got that far. It took a long time for this little beauty to end up in The Netherlands, but it finally arrived at its last destination: (idyllic) Monnickendam.

We love the story behind this orange monster, so we decided to create something special. We completely renovated the entire boat to make it an unique place to sleep and relax. And here it is! Our guests really loved it and higly recommend this place to others. We hope you love this as much as we do! But i’m sure, you won’t be disappointed.

The boat:
If you love a cozy, nice and lovely place to stay: this is it! Rare to find and unique in its sort. It has a really comfy double bed, a three seat sitting area with a foldable table to sit down and relax, free WIFI and a satelite tv with a wide variety of national and international channels. With the installed Chromecast you’re able to watch any film or serie you like right from phone, tablet or laptop! Pretty much everything you need. Also, there’s a fridge on board to keep your stuff cool at any time, different kinds of snacks and drinks and don’t forget some boardgames to spend the late evening hours. On top of that there’s a coffeemachine to make yourself an early morning coffee or tea. We provide you free coffee and tea as a gift, to thank you for choosing our stay! There’s no bathroom facility on the boat itselves, but on walking distance (less then a minute) there’s a big bathroom facility which offers free hot/cold showers and toilets. And believe me, they’re clean and comfy! Nothing to lie or worry about.
