For my birthday on July 16, we went on a boat tour and loved it. Everything was exceptionally well organized, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere on the water was simply wonderful. We were able to enjoy Berlin from a very special perspective and had unforgettable moments with our family. The team was very friendly and helpful, so we felt welcome from the very first moment. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and the beautiful memories of my birthday. We’d love to come back and highly recommend the boat tour.

The tour was very enjoyable and exactly as promised: 2.5 hours sailing through the scenic landscapes into the sunset. The evening lighting was fantastic—we’ll definitely do this again in the fall or winter when it gets dark earlier ;) Everyone on the boat was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. There was also a delicious mocktail with cucumber and lime. Highly recommended all around!

A great tour on a fantastic electric-powered boat! Since the tour takes you almost all the way through the city, there’s plenty to see! You really get a different perspective when you view everything from the water! The beer was delicious, and we had a few snacks to go with it! The crew was very friendly and attentive! We had sunshine, but it was a bit chilly!
