Further information
This Tour includes the districts Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Treptow-Köpenick, Neukölln, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Moabit. It includes pretty much all the classical sights of Berlin's inner city.
We leave historical harbour, pass the Holzmarkt and cruise along the former Berlin Wall towards the east, until we take the first lock towards the south into the landwehrkanal. Here we pass the vibrating shores of Kreuzberg (Maybachufer), the Urbanhafen, and will proceed towards Potsdamer Platz, the new National Galerie of Mies van der Rohe, the Zoo and the Tiergarten. Here we take the second lock and follow up towards the north, where we will reunite at the Spreekreuz with the main river and follow the Spree upstream back towards Moabit and the city center with its government District and the Bundestag, before passing Museum Island and the Berlin Dome.
Particularily on sunny weekends you have to expect that we will have to get in line of a convoy of massive tourist boats that will escsort us through the center (this is Germanys highest frequented domestic water way). The Skipper himself will have to focus sharply on the radio and the traffic and won't be able to give you deeper insights of what you see along the way on this tour. And since we have to go through 3 locks you should prepare yourself for spending a certain time of your tour with waiting. Naturally also the center of Berlin with its monumental buldings has its thrill, but particularily during sunny weekends this route comes with a certain downside.
So at weekends you will have to book this tour as a 5 hours tour, while 4 hours should be enough for it during the week.
Feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks as long as you take care of the trash afterwards …and leave the boat in a decent state/otherwise we will have to charge you a cleaning fee of 50€ :)
