Live aboard Avontuur, our beautiful 1913 historic ship docked in the heart of Rotterdam 🌊✨

🌿 Your Role On Board
As our volunteer, you’ll help us run the B&B and become part of daily life on the ship.
Your tasks may include:
🧺 B&B laundry
🧽 Cleaning shared spaces (bathroom, kitchen, terrace)
🔥 Carrying firewood & preparing the fireplace
💬 Responding to guest messages
🤝 Welcoming guests & handling check-ins
🏡 Supporting daily operations as a B&B Co-Host
🐾 Going for walks with Sasha
⏰ Working Hours
🕚 General schedule: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
(4 hours per day, giving you plenty of free time to explore Rotterdam!)
We only have 2 golden rules on the ship:
1. If you use a shared space, always leave it as you received it. So respect the space and other guests by cleaning up after yourself.
2. From 23.00 to 11.00 be a little bit more quiet and considerate of noise inside and outside the ship.
