My work is my passion, I sail all my life and currently as a skipper in the canals of Amsterdam. How nice it is to share this passion with guests and let them experience the unique and beautiful city of Amsterdam. As your host I will welcome you aboard Almaz and provide you with all the necessary information about the boat and of course about Amsterdam.

As soon as you step aboard, you feel like a real captain, especially when you get behind the wheel. And although the yacht will remain docked in her port - unless you choose to plan a cruise with us during your stay, she will give you a real nautical experience. Not only because of the warm wooden interior, but also because of the many birds that swim by and the great view over the water. The boat offers two bedrooms: the master bedroom with double bed (195x135 cm) in the back of the ship and a second bedroom in the front with a V-shaped double bed. The boat has a toilet and shower in the same cabin. The boat is also equipped with all basic amenities, such as a fully equipped kitchen. The saloon is surprisingly large with an optimal view outside. The surprisingly large living room has glass all around so you can enjoy the landscape around you: the panoramic view over the water, the famous and ever-changing Dutch clouds passing by, the reflection of the water dancing on the ceiling. No hotel room offers that for sure.

Our marina is located on the beautiful Nieuwe Meer, a large lake on the outskirts of the city and on the other side the famous 'Amsterdamse Bos'. This man-made forest is a great place to wander around and enjoy nature, while on the other side you have the energetic and vibrant city centre of Amsterdam. Many guests find this the perfect combination during their visit to Amsterdam. From 20 to 24 August 2025, Europe's biggest nautical event will take place; SAIL Amsterdam. During SAIL, Amsterdam will welcome more than 800 (inter)national (tall) ships. You can experience SAIL 2025 exclusively on aboard our small motor boat C'est la vie. We offer various sailing arrangements, you will have private use of the boat with your host as skipper. If you want to be sure of a special experience, book your cruise now. If you would like more additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
