What Makes a Houseboat Vacation Special? With a houseboat in Berlin, you can enjoy pure freedom and nature! Relax on the water, explore famous sights, and experience the peaceful, slow-paced life on board. Every houseboat is equipped with sleeping accommodations, sanitary facilities, and a kitchen – giving you the comfort of your floating home wherever you go.
Most of our houseboats can be rented and operated without a boating license. Only a few exceptions with particularly powerful engines require a license. In all other cases, an in-depth briefing on-site is sufficient to obtain a charter certificate, allowing you to navigate the Berlin waterways safely.
Experience Tour Through Berlin’s City Center
Cruise along the Spree and discover famous sights such as the Reichstag, the government district, and Museum Island – all from the water. Our tip: At Schiffbauerdamm (kilometer 15.3), you’ll find Berlin’s most central mooring for sport boats, where you can dock for up to 24 hours free of charge and explore the city.
Discover Natural Paradises
For those seeking tranquility, Berlin’s unique water landscape offers a peaceful escape – from the Havel River to Müggelsee. Here, you’ll find idyllic anchor spots and secluded swimming bays, perfect for a relaxing break.
Our Berlin houseboats depart from home harbors in Spandau, Werder, and Hennigsdorf. Before departure, you will receive a thorough briefing on how to safely operate the boat, along with valuable tips about the Berlin waterways, including the Havel, Spree, and Wannsee. Once you’re ready, your houseboat vacation can begin!
A boating license is required on the Spree between Charlottenburg Lock and Mühlendamm Lock (radio communication is also mandatory during the day). Due to heavy traffic, we recommend this route only for experienced skippers.
