Description Tjalk Varend Woonschip
Located in the heart of Rotterdam is this charming, historic houseboat measuring approximately 16.50 × 4.00 meters. A comfortable living space with its own address, suitable for one to two people.
The open-concept kitchen features a (high) counter with a natural stone countertop, a corner sofa, cabinet space, and a navigation table/workspace. The mahogany paneling, partially varnished, gives the interior a pleasant and characterful atmosphere. The headroom ranges from approximately 1.90 to 2.05 meters.
The bathroom with shower and toilet and the bedroom are accessible from the small hallway. A separate guest room is located beneath the mast deck.
The boat has been well maintained mechanically. A reconditioned 100 pk Cummins engine was installed in 2019. The paint job was completely redone in 2025 and 2026; the last docking and inspection took place on August 1, 2026.
The complete set of sails is present and in good condition. The wooden mast needs to be replaced.
In short: a charming and well-maintained houseboat in a unique location in Rotterdam. Compact and fully equipped for comfortable living and sailing
