House Rules

A few small things that keep seven boats and twenty-two cabins running smoothly. Two minutes now saves everyone a headache later; thank you for reading.

Shared spaces

Kitchen & Bathroom Protocol

A quick reminder to clean up after using the shared kitchen and bathroom (if applicable) and leave the space as you'd like to find it.

Wash & put away

Wash your dishes and put them back where they belong.

Wipe surfaces

Wipe counters and the hob down after cooking.

Bathrooms too

The same courtesy applies to every shared bathroom.

Shared spaces

Keeping them clean is essential for everyone's comfort.

Marine Toilet Guidelines

Our onboard toilets use gentle macerator systems, so they’re happiest with just human waste and a little toilet paper.

Stick to human waste and a small amount of toilet paper
Flush little and often so paper doesn't build up
Please don't

A few things our system can't handle, so please pop these in the bin instead:

Wipes Paper towel Sanitary products Tissues

Bathroom bins are there for anything that isn't normal toilet use, thank you!

Why It Matters

Blockages need a technician to fix, which can mean a €150 repair charge. We’d much rather avoid that for everyone, so when in doubt, just bin it! Looking after the system keeps things running smoothly for everyone onboard. 💙

No-Cannabis Policy

Just so you know

In the Netherlands, cannabis is tolerated but not legal, and use is generally limited to licensed coffeeshops. Smoking in public areas is restricted and is not permitted on private property unless explicitly allowed.

If cannabis is your thing, the easiest spot is a licensed coffeeshop. For anything on or around the houseboats, just have a quick word with us first.

Onboard, it's a simple yes-with-an-ask

We don’t have a blanket ban, but because we live and work on the water, cannabis is only okay onboard, on the dock, or nearby when the captain or crew has given the go-ahead.

1
Ask first. Check with the captain or a crew member before lighting up anywhere near the boats.
2
Wait for the green light. If they say yes, you're good, they'll point you to where and how.
3
No permission, no problem. If it's a no, keep it to a licensed coffeeshop and away from the property.
