Team event Berlin on a boat

Team events for every company size and budget

Berlin offers an exceptionally wide selection of boats and ships for corporate events. This allows for flexible planning of both smaller team-building events and large corporate events.

The great advantage of a corporate event on the water lies in its simplicity: all guests start together, spend time together on board, and return together. This automatically creates a shared experience that strengthens team spirit and encourages relaxed conversation away from the office.

Party boats and rafts are a particularly popular solution for smaller teams. These boats usually allow self-catering, so you can simply bring your own food and drinks. Many have barbecue facilities or bathing ladders – ideal for a relaxed summer company outing with a BBQ and a swim.

If you are planning a more comfortable corporate event, you can choose a boat with catering and beverage service. Many event boats offer complete event packages – from BBQs and buffet catering to high-quality finger food or beverage packages.

Stylish event ships and saloon ships are also available for larger corporate events. These usually have several decks, professional bars, service staff, and high-quality catering concepts, and are ideal for corporate parties, incentive events, networking events, or anniversary celebrations.

This variety means that almost any team event can be tailored to the team size, budget, and desired atmosphere.

Popular boat routes for corporate events in Berlin

One of the most popular options for a team event is a boat tour through downtown Berlin. During the trip along the Spree River, the team will experience many of the capital's most famous sights from a whole new perspective. This tour is a real highlight, especially for international teams or companies with guests from abroad.

Typical stops on such a city tour include the government district with the Reichstag, Berlin Central Station, the House of World Cultures, Bellevue Palace, Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the historic Nikolaiviertel district, and the Oberbaum Bridge.

Those who prefer a quieter and more natural setting can opt for a tour of the Havel River and Berlin's large lakes. Trips across Lake Wannsee, Lake Tegel, or Lake Müggelsee offer a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space on the water. Here you can anchor, swim, or have a barbecue together – perfect for summer company outings or casual team events.

Food and catering on board

Food plays an important role on longer boat trips. Depending on the boat, there are various options for adding a culinary touch to your team event.

Many boats allow self-catering, so you can bring your own food and drinks. This is a particularly popular solution for relaxed BBQ events on the water, especially for raft or party boat events.

Alternatively, catering can be organized directly on board. Many event boats offer professional catering services—from barbecue buffets and Mediterranean buffets to high-quality finger food concepts or beverage packages with bar service.

The options available depend on the boat in question and are always clearly stated in the detailed description.

Examples of team events on the water in Berlin

The classic four-hour city center tour

One of the most popular options for corporate events is a four-hour tour through Berlin's city center. During the tour, the team passes many of the capital's sights and experiences Berlin from a whole new perspective.
This type of event is suitable for both smaller teams and larger corporate events. Particularly popular ships for such tours include the Golda and the Rhein. Both feature stylish salons, spacious outdoor decks, and catering and bar services, making them ideal for high-end corporate celebrations or exclusive customer events.

Combine team events and workshops

Some companies want to combine a team event with a workshop or meeting. Berlin has special seminar ships that can be used as floating seminar or conference venues.
These ships are equipped with seminar seating, presentation technology, projectors, and a quiet working atmosphere. Such ships are often used stationary at the pier at first and then set sail for a joint tour after the workshop. This allows work and team events to be combined very elegantly.

Summer team event on the Berlin lakes

Party boats and rafts such as the Goldelse are particularly popular for smaller teams or casual company outings. Here, the relaxed nature of the event is the main focus.
Typical elements of such events include barbecuing together on board, swimming breaks on Berlin's lakes, drinks on deck, and casual conversations within the team. Meanwhile, the crew takes care of navigation and organization so that all guests can simply enjoy the trip.
Especially in summer, this creates very relaxed team events that are significantly different from classic company events.

Why a team event on a boat works particularly well

A company event on the water offers several advantages over traditional event locations. The group is exclusively among themselves, all guests start and end together, and the movement on the water creates a relaxed atmosphere that facilitates conversation.

At the same time, Berlin is experienced from a perspective that many people are still unfamiliar with even after years in the city. This combination of shared activity, special surroundings, and relaxed atmosphere ensures that a team event on the water will be remembered for a long time.

Still unsure which event is right for your team?

Many companies initially only know:

• how many people will participate

• when the event should take place

• what the approximate budget is

Based on this information, we will suggest suitable boats, routes, and event formats and create a customized offer for your corporate event.
