In Berlin-Kladow, in the quietest corner of Berlin, Lanke Boat Rental awaits with sports boats and day cruisers directly at the Havel pier. Here, city noise is exchanged for lapping waves and sunsets over the water. A "Sunset Drive" with strawberries and champagne or baguette, cheese, and wine makes the first date truly special.
About Lanke Boat Rental
Lanke Boat Rental is located at Pier Kladow, specifically at Imchenallee 42 in Berlin-Spandau. The offer ranges from pedal boats to motorboats, including models that do not require a license, as well as well-equipped sports boats and cabin boats. So, if you don’t have a boat license, you don’t have to miss out. Specifically, the station rents sport cruisers as well as license-free and license-required sports boats and day cruisers, bookable for one, two, three, or four hours.
The location is anything but randomly chosen. In Spandau, there is not only plenty of water, but everyone can also find the right boat to set sail on their own and explore the waterways of Berlin and Brandenburg. From here, the Havel leads directly towards Wannsee and further to Potsdam. This means: water, forests, and much tranquility, even though you are still in Berlin.
The boats are handed over clean, a detailed briefing is provided, and the rental service is known for responding to questions in a particularly friendly and understanding manner. There is also a popular after-work tariff: This is highly recommended, as two hours of boating are available for around 40 Euros. Booking is convenient online, preferably one day in advance.
Why is Lanke Boat Rental a great place for a first date?
A first date thrives on unforgettable moments. On the water, there are no distracting screens, no background music from the next table, and no crowds. Instead: the Havel, the sky, and the person next to you. That alone is an argument.
Lanke Boat Rental also offers a romantic “Sunset Drive” on the water. In summer, you can rent a motorboat for two hours at a special price, Monday to Friday between 18:00 and 21:00, fuel included. From Kladower Hafen, you’ll head out on the Havel towards the sunset. An evening could hardly be better scripted.
What makes the date even more beautiful: A few brought-along treats like strawberries and champagne or baguette, cheese, and wine make the outing special. You don’t need a special license for this. That takes the pressure off, as no one has to play captain. Plus, you stay in motion, which makes conversations easier than shuffling chairs across from each other in a restaurant. So, if you want to go for honest rather than safe on a first date, rent a boat and see where the Havel takes you.
