The Experience

We just bought a huge boat of 600m2 in the city center of Amsterdam that we will transform into a community party boat. A lot of work needs to be done and it will take a while, but there is no rush so we take the time to turn it into something beautiful. We need handy hands. Experience with building frame and woodwork is required.

I had a great time collaborating with Mark and I appreciate the opportunity to help develop the boat. The experiences I had while I was there were wonderful socially and allowed me to explore different local cultural scenarios. I also met the other volunteers, even though we had different roles. I enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it. Safe travels, Mark 🚤

It was a magnificent experience. I learned practical skills such as electrical work and carpentry. The hosts were exceptional—always attentive to the group's comfort. It was a truly wonderful experience. 😊

My experience in Amsterdam was excellent. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Antonella is an amazing host, very kind, flexible, and always willing to include me in activities and make me feel like one of her friends. Without a doubt, an experience I highly recommend!!!
