Houseboat Uitgeest XL | 6 guests

Step aboard and discover space, tranquillity and the water right beneath your feet

Space, comfort and a unique location on the water come together in this generous XL houseboat, suitable for up to six guests. Thanks to its prime location in Uitgeest, you are just 25 minutes from Amsterdam by car or train. The North Sea beaches are also within easy reach, making it effortless to combine a day in the city with a relaxed afternoon by the sea.

On board, you have all the space you need to unwind together. The generous living area, comfortable furnishings and spacious outdoor terrace make this houseboat ideal for families, groups of friends or a longer stay. From almost every corner you look out over the marina, while the lapping water and passing boats create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. From sunny breakfasts on the terrace to long evenings with views over the lake, this XL houseboat offers a truly special stay throughout the year where space and peace take centre stage.

The houseboat accommodates six guests, making it the perfect choice for families, groups of friends or two families holidaying together. Everything is in place for a carefree stay, from fresh Nespresso coffee to a fully equipped kitchen, from free wifi to bed linen that is ready and waiting on arrival.

Outdoor living on the water

The waterside terrace is the beating heart of this houseboat. Here you start the day at your own pace and end the evening with a glass of wine as the last light fades over the water. The terrace furniture is comfortable and a parasol is available for warm afternoons. In summer you can step straight into the water, while in autumn you savour the peace and the colours of the surrounding landscape. Even on cool winter days the terrace has a special quality: the stillness of the marina and the gentle sound of the water always make the fresh air worth stepping out for.

Spacious, light and fully equipped

Inside, the houseboat is light and airy. The living room has large windows that bring the view indoors and is furnished with a comfortable seating area and a generous dining area with six chairs. The Smart TV is perfect for a relaxed evening whenever you feel like staying in. The open-plan kitchen is equipped with a four-burner hob, dishwasher, combination microwave, Nespresso coffee machine and kettle. In short, everything you need to prepare a leisurely meal together with a view of the water.

On the lower deck you will find three bedrooms, each furnished with two separate single beds. The beds are made up on arrival and bed linen is included, so you can relax straight away. The spacious bathroom has a separate shower, toilet and hairdryer. Also practical is the washer and dryer, ideal for longer stays. A separate toilet on the ground floor adds extra convenience. Parking is free within walking distance and pets are very welcome.

Uitgeest Marina: water, nature and relaxation

Uitgeest Marina is situated directly on the beautiful Alkmaar and Uitgeest lakes, one of the finest watersports areas in North Holland. Your holiday starts the moment you arrive. Step aboard a hired motorboat, lounge boat, SUP, canoe, kayak or sailing boat and explore the expansive lakes from the water. Prefer to discover the area a different way? Hire a bike, e-chopper or fatbike and enjoy the finest routes through green polders, past characteristic windmills and charming villages. Bringing your own boat? Complete your stay by booking a berth in the marina so your boat is always close at hand.

After a day full of adventure, you return to the peace of the water. Enjoy a drink on a terrace overlooking the lake or relax at your accommodation as boats drift slowly past. This is where you experience the true feeling of a holiday, season after season.

Discover the versatile surroundings

There is plenty to enjoy beyond the marina too. Within walking distance you will find the lively centre of Uitgeest with restaurants, terraces and shops. Fancy a day at the beach? The shores of Castricum aan Zee, Bakkum and Wijk aan Zee are just twenty minutes away by car. Historic towns such as Alkmaar and Haarlem are nearby, and Amsterdam is reachable within approximately 25 minutes for a day of culture, canals, shopping or culinary highlights.

The surroundings invite you to get out and explore. Walk through the Uitgeesterbroek nature reserve, cycle along the forts of the Defence Line of Amsterdam or visit the Zaanse Schans and Huis van Hilde. Families are also well catered for with playgrounds, swimming spots, a climbing forest, museums and other great days out for all ages. Whether you are looking for an active holiday, a relaxing weekend or a fun family break, Uitgeest Marina is the ideal base for discovering North Holland at its finest.

Good to know

The houseboat offers all the charm of a stay on the water but remains in a fixed berth throughout your visit. As you are staying directly on the water and the terrace provides easy access to it, we recommend that children hold a swimming certificate.

EXTRA INFORMATION! You can also moor here with your own sloop provided the maximum width is 2.50 (then it will fit alongside the Houseboat).
