Berlin Bootsverleih
Berlin Boat Rental is the central booking platform for renting boats in Berlin, making motorboats, party boats, rafts, and houseboats comparable across the city on the Spree and Havel. Those who want to charter a boat in the capital will find the largest selection bundled here, advised by native Berliners with 16 years of experience on the water.
Berlin Boat Rental: Berlin’s Largest Platform for Renting Boats
Berlin Boat Rental is the central platform for boat rental in the capital and offers a wide selection of different boats for direct comparison. Motorboats, party boats, rafts, and houseboats for groups of 2 to 150 people can be booked directly with Berlin charter stations. Thus, Berlin Boat Rental is less a single provider and more a smart aggregator. The decisive advantage: those who want to rent a boat don’t have to search long here but can directly compare and book offers from various operators.
The company points to 16 years of experience, a 4.9-star customer rating, and personal advice from a team of native Berliners. So, whoever wants to charter a boat on the Spree or Wannsee gets genuine local knowledge.
Houseboats, Rafts, and License-Free Adventures on the Spree and Havel
Berlin Boat Rental charters a total of over 120 boats, rafts, and ships in Berlin. Among them are Berlin houseboats for overnight stays on the water, which have a minimum booking period of 2 nights and offer sleeping facilities for up to 8 people. Those who prefer to be on the water during the day can choose one of the BBQ rafts or party boats. The equipment of the rafts includes a grill and a swimming ladder; many also have a sun deck and a toilet.
The special thing about Berlin and Brandenburg is the freedom on the water: thanks to the 15-hp regulation, many motorboats can be rented without a license. For swimming trips, barbecues, and self-driving, the Havel, Wannsee, Tegeler See, and Müggelsee are particularly suitable. Those who prefer to explore the city center should take a boat with a skipper, as radio duty often applies in the city center on the Berlin Spree or the Landwehr Canal, and special traffic rules apply. In addition, there are also electrically powered boats: sustainable corporate events can easily be organized on the water this way, with a significantly smaller ecological footprint, and no exhaust fumes or noise on board.
