Boat tours in Berlin

Ahoy guys, I am Hannes and these are my two boats Liesel and Fünfer

You can book them. For all kinds of occasions you may have in mind (family reunions, company celebrations, team events, birthdays, marriage proposals…). With them me or my crew will sail you through the city. Or out oft he city onto the lakes.

The ships are honest and rustic and that's what we love. The chugging of the engines, the water, the sun, and sometimes even the rain…. Discovering Berlin on the water with these historic ships has its own rhythm and special flair. You want to experience exactly that? You've come to the right place.

Our Liesel has seen a lot and you can feel it in her rustic charm. Her indestructible Deutz Diesel chugs you directly into the old times of the capital.

Liesel is a proud 16 meters long and impresses with its perfect layout: a large outdoor area at the bow and stern, a covered front salon and in addition a spacious enclosed salon. In total, Liesel can accommodate 33 passengers, and the enclosed lower deck makes her the perfect ship for any weather.

In the front salon there is a small bar with a counter. Here you can either cater for yourselves or we take care of that for you.

Fünfer

The Fünfer is an old West Berlin rescueboat and a real contemporary witness of the cold war. When we bought her in Tegel in 2014, things were not too good for our Fuenfer.

But we have refurbished her and brought her back to great condition. She was commissioned as a reaction to the construction of the Berlin Wall. In the event of a mass flight from East to West, her task would have been to rescue as many escapees as possible at the same time.

That's why the Fuenfer is exceptionally spacious for a lifeboat, comfortably accommodating 15 passengers.

By the way, our Fünfer is called Fünfer because it was the fifth lifeboat commissioned.

Brilliant.
The captain is a truly great dude! The atmosphere is so relaxed - a great insight into the multilayered world of the Spree's many mad mermaids and pernickety pirates! :) Thoroughly recommend - 5 stars! […]

Warm, personal and individual
We rented the boat for 8 people and chose the tour towards Treptow. Johannes is a connoisseur and had a story to tell about every little detail. Unobtrusive, very personal and cordial. The boat is in very good condition […]

Highly recommended - great experience
On the weekend I was with 8 guys to the JGA in Berlin. The boat trip was the highlight and was a lot of fun. The handling in advance was fast and uncomplicated and everything worked out great. The ordered catering has also fit, […]

Self-catering

You are welcome to self-cater on our ships free of charge. The only conditions are:

That you leave the boat clean afterwards.
You take your garbage back on the same way you brought it! (If you simply leave your bags on the road afterwards, you will cause considerable damage to our harbor. And it will lead to the fact that we will not be able to offer this option in the future).
You are on time with all your food, already at the pier, (better 10 minutes before departure time, to allow a quick boarding within the 15 minutes) and you make sure that you leave the boat on time and clean. (That means you have to start to clean up during your trip to enable the disembarkation within the few minutes we are allowed to be at the jetty. And everybody has to help together to carry the things quickly off the boat.

Catering partner

Together with some selected partners we also offer high class catering service. Of course you can also use the catering service of your choice. But our partners already have an offer tailored to the circumstances on board, and know about the external circumstances, the absolute punctuality, as well as the meeting points.
