Charter offers at Hauptstadtfloß
In addition to various rafts for 8 to 55 people, we offer a launch and the Mobydick ship for hire. An additional ship for up to 380 people is available on request. All boats, including our rafts, are chartered including a captain, so you don’t need a license and can enjoy the trip to the full.
Our rafts are similar to bungalow boats and have a modern WC/bathroom. Some of the boats can be heated and can therefore be booked all year round. On board you can relax on comfortable lounge furniture and enjoy drinks as well as varied and individual catering.
Depending on the arrangement and the boat chosen, we will take you on a trip along the canals and the Spree through Berlin past well-known sights or into the countryside through Köpenick, to Müggelsee and even as far as Erkner or Zeuthen.
Simply hire a boat for a private boat tour according to your wishes. Our boats are moored in Rummelsburg, but the starting point of the tours is usually the clipper at Treptower Park, the Oberbaumbrücke, the Schillingbrücke or the jetty at the Mutter Lustig restaurant.
Rent a boat with driver – how it works
Charter one of our boats, rafts or ships for a fixed period of time. The cost depends on the duration, size and equipment of the boat. For example, you can hire a boat for a whole day or just a few hours. The minimum rental period is two hours. Our launch, for example, can be chartered from € 440.00 net. Depending on the occasion and your wishes, we will plan the schedule and decoration with you: whether you prefer pure sightseeing, a party, a relaxed trip on the water or a swimming trip to Müggelsee.

Depending on the boat, 20 to 100 covered seats are available.
There is also a fully equipped bar on board with cooling facilities and one or two modern unisex toilets.
The music & LED systems (on the lower & upper deck rafts) ensure a good atmosphere.
Some boats can be heated if required, e.g. via underfloor heating.

What does "chartering" mean?
The word “charter” comes from the Old French “chartre”, which means “document” or “letter”. Throughout history, the term “charter” has referred to various types of documents that grant certain rights or privileges. In the case of boats, “chartering” means that the boat can be rented or chartered for a fixed period of time. The charter agreements, such as duration, price and conditions of use, are recorded in writing.
