A Surla Houseboat is a sailing summer residence. Our water villas are fully equipped, 100% ecological and self-sufficient. Luxury, comfort and respect for nature come together here. From April/May on the houseboat is docked on open water. This houseboat (built in '21) is fully equipped.The Houseboat is 15 meters long and 6 meters wide. The living room and kitchen are 25m2, and equipped with 3 large sliding doors so that you always have a phenomenal view over the Westeinderplassen. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine, 4 burner stove. The living room has a comfortable sofa, a TV and a pellet stove. From the living room / kitchen you can directly access the front terrace. * This specific houseboat does not have a roof terrace.
The Houseboat has 2 bedrooms (1 bed is 1.80 x 2.00m and the other bed is 1.40 x 2.00 meter) and fixed wardrobes. There are also large sliding doors here, so that you can take a dip in the morning from the bedroom. And afterwards take a nice shower under the warm outdoor shower. Of course you can also take a shower indoors. There is a shower, sink and drytoilet. In addition to the two bedrooms, there is also a spacious double bunk bed (1.40 x 2.00 meter) in the hallway in the Houseboat. Very nice for children.
Before arrival:
The check-in time is between 15.00 and 18.00pm. Earlier check-in is not possible due to cleaning of the houseboat.
This houseboat is moored in a beautiful spot in the Westeinderplassen near the town of Burgerveen. You cannot get to the houseboat by car. The meeting point with the host and where you can park the car is: Kempers Watersport, Herenweg 100, 1431 GX Aalsmeer. When you enter the site, you can park your car immediately on the right. The dinghy is also there. The host will take you from there with the dinghy to the houseboat. Please check-in between 15.00 and 18.00 pm. Earlier or later is not possible.
We have a Surla host available: she will check you in and is available during your stay for questions or emergencies. Please inform what time is your arrival time. The host needs some time to get to the meeting point.
Surla Tender (Dinghy):
during your stay we provide an dinghy.
This aluminum tender is included during the rental of the houseboat.
It is important that you start the tender with the trottle in Neutral. Do you want to lock the tender when you are not using it? Also at night?
Sail slowly! Place the tender at the front or back of the houseboat. Gently moor so that there is no damage to the houseboat or tender.
We will charge for damage immediately.
The tender is fully fueled upon your arrival. The request is to fill it up again before checking out (Gasoline 98), so that the next guests also have a full tank.
You can also put the amount on the table in cash: 40 euros for an empty tank and 20 euros for half a tank. If the tender has not been refueled and no money has been left behind on departure, we will charge the costs afterwards.
NOTE:
* Surla rents out several houseboats at different locations. It is possible that the location, the floorplan of the houseboat and the interior in the photos differs from the actual houseboat. All our houseboats were built in 2021-2023.
* Swimming certificates are highly recommended. We will not recommend the houseboat for people with walking difficulties.
* We have a camera that faces outward, and it hangs outside on the front deck. This turns off as soon as the guests come on board. So it is purely for safety if there are no guests. There are no cameras inside.
* We advise you to do necessary shopping before boarding. Standard on board is a few Nespresso coffee capsules, milk, sugar, tea, oil, pepper, salt and a few toilet rolls. We have towels and the beds are made for your arrival.
* We don't let our guests sail with the Surla houseboat themselves, but a dinghy is included in the rent. Sail at walking pace with the dinghy, we are guests on the water. Any fines are for your own account.
*No parties allowed.
Our Surla Houseboats are built sustainably and 100% self-sufficient. We have ingenious systems on board that allow you to recreate without using shore power, and we also have filter systems that do not require us to have water tanks on board. We are guests on the water and have done everything possible to implement 100% off-grid and ecologically responsible solutions.
We would love to welcome you as guests to create beautiful memories with this unique experience.
