John Franklin

Solar-Powered Event & Excursion Boat | For Friends, Family & Colleagues

The John Franklin offers plenty of space for smaller events with up to 40 guests. The boat is ideal for corporate events, family celebrations, birthdays, weddings, and seminars. Sustainability is also a priority: the electricity we need is generated by the onboard photovoltaic system. Even in winter, the boat stays comfortably warm thanks to its efficient heating. On board you’ll find a spacious lounge, several cabins for overnight stays, as well as a small rooftop deck at the rear and a large rooftop deck at the front. Multi-day incentives and cruises are also possible.
