Green Oasis at sailing barge "the Rederijker"

The Green Oasis at sailing barge 'the Rederijker' offers a unique stay for groups or families who want to experience Amsterdam from the water. Moored in the IJburg harbour, this beautifully restored ship combines classic mahogany woodwork with modern, stylish sleeping quarters for up to 12 guests. It’s ideal for those seeking a memorable, eco-conscious base with a harbour view and direct waterfront access. The host greets you personally, and the barge includes a dedicated workspace, cooking basics, and a coffee maker — perfect for self-catering after exploring the nearby restaurants like NAP, DOK 48, and Blijburg. In summer, day trips to the IJsselmeer are available, but off-season the barge becomes a peaceful retreat with all essentials provided. Plan your trip around the relaxed, village-like vibe of IJburg, with easy access to central Amsterdam via tram or bike.

IJburg and Zeeburgereiland form a modern, family-friendly archipelago east of Amsterdam’s centre, with a laid-back, maritime atmosphere. The harbour area is dotted with popular restaurants, pubs, and shops, while a bakery and supermarket are just steps away. For active visitors, there’s a football field, running paths, and a gym 200 metres from the barge. Tram line 26 connects you to Amsterdam Centraal in about 15 minutes, making it easy to explore the city while returning to a quiet, waterside retreat.
