The location of the boat is is great, you have the main station in a 3 minute walk and most of Amsterdam in a walkable distance. The boat is mostly for young travellers in my opinion, because you have to be flexible with the ship not being new and luxurius. It is really good heated and we almost never got cold even though it is a ship. Aart is a really kind and laid back host who can give you many infos and he also brought us snacks from time to time. The boat is perfect if you want to have some relaxing time but still having all the action of the city nearby. If I visit Amsterdam again I am definitely trying the Beagle again!!
