Houseboat The Schnabel, Berlin

Feel like a star of the Roaring Twenties when you invite your loved one on a day trip across Berlin’s waters on this elegant backdecker! The most exciting time in the capital may be over (so they say), but you can still breathe freedom, adventure and joie de vivre on the Spree and on the lakes. No matter how much time you spend on the water, Berlin is a dream from the Schnabel perspective. Say hello to other skippers, try your hand at sluicing, drop anchor on a swimming lake and jump in naked while your drinks cool in the cool box.

From our central berth in Kreuzberg near the Oberbaumbrücke, the lake circuit is ideal. The route takes you past Badeschiff, Insel der Jugend, Rummelsburger Bucht and Plänterwald to Köpenick. Continue on a loop across the Müggelspree to Müggelsee, past Neu Venedig to Dämmeritzsee, and via Seddinsee and Langer See back to Köpenick. Or be inspired by our other tour recommendations!

(Attention: Berlin city centre from Oberbaumbrücke only accessible with a driving licence and from Mühlendammschleuse only accessible with a driving licence and after 19:00).

Pets are not allowed on the Schnabel. If you want to take your pet with you and are sure that it will be fine on the water, then only on the Momme and on the Wasserkutsche. Please take note of our FAQ!
