Good to know

Which boats can I drive without a license?

There are many areas in Germany that are considered tourist waterways due to the low level of commercial shipping. These waterways can also be navigated with houseboats over 15 hp without a license.

The prerequisite is the charter certificate, which you will receive from KUHNLE-TOURS on the day of arrival after a 3-hour personal briefing in theory and practice. The certificate is included for our charter crews
included
. We will send you your personal “Mecklenburg and Märkisch Waters Cruise Planner” in advance to help you prepare. You will receive the “Törnatlas” chart book from us as a loan copy when you take over the boat.

On the remaining waterways you can sail without a license on our houseboats with up to 15 hp. With these boats, for example, a trip through Berlin is also possible without a license (except for a small section on the Spree-Oder waterway from kilometer 14.10 to 20.70).
