This boat was completely rebuilt just a few years ago, It's very spacious, and the interior is clean, bright, modern, and new.
 Click on the icon of the floor plan at the bottom of this page, and then click on any of the camera icons on the floor plan page for a picture taken from that angle.
The boat is rented fully furnished; including cutlery, crockery, towels and bed linen.
There are 2 toilets as well as a separate bathroom; there's a great restored antique bathtub and thermostatic shower.
The open kitchen is custom built in teak, with a 5 burner gas stove, microwave and conventional oven, double sink, and built in fridge.
The wheelhouse is always bright, with a wide view. The windows in the hull give a great outlook across the water from a low angle when you're below.
There is always lots of sunlight, even in mid-winter.
There are 2 bedrooms, kitchen / livingroom, lots of storage space in several closets, a laundry space [wash machine included], as well as the large wheelhouse.
The wheelhouse has a little sink and a stove.
The front bedroom is separated from the livingroom area with a wall that can be dismantled and reassembled in different positions, allowing the space to be customized; the front bedroom can be made larger, becoming a workspace or studio, or smaller to maximize the livingroom area.
There is city water [as well as 3,500 liters / 900 US gallons reserve on board] and mains electricity.
Well insulated, centrally heated with an oil furnace [new]. There is a satellite receiver. Free to air stations are free, but if you want more [Discovery, music, movies...] you'll have to pay the subscription costs.
On top of the ship is a 60 square meter hardwood sundeck.
The location is Oude Houthavens.
Houthavens offers a big sky, without buildings obstructing your view.
Have a look at the map [link at the bottom of this page] to see the exact location.
There are only 6 other boats there, so the Houthavens has good neighborhood security yet plenty of privacy. You get sunrise and sunsets, as well as rainbows. It's a friendly, easy-going place.
Bus service is a 500 meter walk, Amsterdam Central station is 10- 15 minute by bicycle. Road connections to just about anywhere are very good.
The Vrije Muselaer gets unobstructed sunlight all day, even in winter.
