Motor boats & houseboats

Leave behind the stress of your day-to-day life by spending time on board of a ship and set sail for pure relaxation. There is hardly a place better suited for experiencing the feeling of freedom and independence than on board of a motor boat or houseboat. These are the reasons you hear time and again when talking to motor boat owners on the docks about why they love boating.

Comfortable life aboard
Motor yachts and houseboats offer sufficient space and comfort on and under deck to enjoy life aboard for a long period of time. Depending on their size - most motor boats range from 7-12 meters – a motor yacht offers one or several cabins with beds and wet cells. The galley is fully equipped with refrigerator, stove and sink, and ready to take care of the crew’s culinary needs.

Sporty driving enjoyment plus comfort
As their name suggests, life aboard is an even greater priority with houseboats than it is with motor yachts. Onboard a houseboat you cruise comfortably and at low speeds in rivers, canals and lakes. Out at sea you won’t come across houseboats often, because out there motor yachts’ higher performance is preferred. Motor boats have different shapes and motorizations than houseboats. That is why motor yachts offer sporty driving enjoyment on top of the relaxed life aboard. They are also well equipped for long distances off coasts and out at sea.

Ideally suited for boating novices
Houseboats are an ideal choice for newcomers to boating. In selected areas in Europe you can charter and drive houseboats without the need for a motor boat license. After a brief instruction in boat technology and local waterways trading your journey can begin.
