Rent a houseboat in Berlin

Vacation on a Berlin houseboat

Boat types: Choose either a classic steel houseboat or a modern pontoon boat. The advantages of the steel boats are the maritime look, the cruising speed and the low fuel consumption. Pontoon houseboats score particularly well with their large amount of space. The interior of this class of boat is often more like a moving living room than a houseboat. The huge roof terrace invites you to sunbathe.

Home ports: Our Berlin houseboats are located in Spandau, Werder and Hennigsdorf. When the boat is handed over, you will receive detailed instructions on how to operate the boat safely and the special features of Berlin's waters (Havel and Spree).

Boat tours and routes: For experienced drivers, the boat tour through downtown Berlin is definitely worth it. Drive past the capital's most famous sights on the Spree. The government district, the Reichstag and Museum Island are just a few of the many Berlin attractions that are located directly on the water. Our tip: At Schiffbauerdamm (15.3 km) is Berlin's most central jetty for pleasure boats. You can dock free of charge for 24 hours and explore the city. Or enjoy the unique water world of the capital and spend the night with the houseboat on the Havel, the Wannsee or the Müggelsee. You can find detailed tour information under our menu item Sightseeing or Watermap.

Attention: In the city center of Berlin (on the Spree between the Charlottenburg lock and the Mühlendamm lock) you need to have a boat driver's license and a radio license. Due to the high volume of traffic in Berlin shipping, we recommend this boat tour to experienced captains only. Houseboats in Berlin are designed for vacation and relaxation on the water. They can only be rented for several days. Please take a look at our boat overview if you are looking for a day charter or a party boat. We also highly recommend to read our FAQ.
