Met zijn knusse interieur de ideale boot om Amsterdam op haar mooist te zien
De bekende acteur Willem Nijholt heeft deze boot namens Wim Sonneveld gedoopt. Deze boot is luxe ingericht met variabele zitplaatsindeling.
Losse gestoffeerde stoelen en tafels. Achter in de boot is een kleine bar. Ook deze boot heeft een ruime *achterkuip*. Totaal aantal personen in de kuip is 20. Binnen kunnen 76 personen comfortabel zitten.
Not sure whether this is cockpit, as previously asked... anyone?
Thks,
Iris

aft deck
Given that this is a sort of saloon boat like that shown on this website

I think that this fits the bill best

If you want a narrowboat that make best use of cabin space, go for a 'traditional' type. This has a minimal amount of deck space, so that only one person can stand at the back. This makes it hard to take guests out for a cruise because they have to stay inside or clamber onto the roof. However, a major plus is that most trad boats have the engine inside the rear cabin and so you can work on the engine without freezing your hands or getting soaked.

The next compartment contains the flushing pump-out toilet, shower and wash basin with vanity mirror.
The rear cabin contains a berth that can be used either as a single or double bed and has the advantage that it can be left made up if desired. Opposite are a useful range of shelves, a radiator and wardrobe.

Aft / rear saloon
Given the numbers of people who can fit into this "kuip" (20 - 76?), this is could be a "saloon". Examples of which can be seen here:

It depends what you mean by "open", i.e. "open air" or "spacious". In the former then "open air saloon" would cover it (see ref.), in the latter then simply (spacious) saloon would work!

I had actually read the full reference - it refers to both deck / saloon. I actually think that both you and Kate have gone off at the deep end here. Neither this nor Venter's are in any sense "wrong": whatever happened to just "neutrals"? -Mea culpa, too

Something went wrong...
