Motorboat, sailing boat or rowing boat - what's right for you?

Regardless of the type of boat, boat tours offer the opportunity to escape the stress of everyday life and relax in the midst of nature. They provide access to remote places that are often difficult to reach by land. The views from the water are unique and the variety of landscapes that unfold on the shore add to the fascination of boat tours. Whether you opt for the speed of a motorboat, the romance of a sailing boat or the intimacy of a rowing boat, the benefits of a boat tour are many and offer unforgettable experiences for nature lovers and adventurers alike.

Motorboats are characterised by their speed and efficiency. They make it possible to cover large distances in a relatively short time and explore a wide variety of waters. This makes them ideal for explorers who want to see a lot in a short space of time. In addition, motorboats often offer comfort features such as sun decks, music systems and cooling facilities, making the trip even more enjoyable.

Sailing boats, on the other hand, offer a romantic and environmentally friendly way of travelling. The gentle movement of the boat in harmony with the wind gives the journey a special atmosphere. The silence created by the absence of an engine allows passengers to enjoy the sounds of nature in their pure form. Sailboats are also able to navigate in shallow waters, allowing access to hidden bays and quiet lagoons.

Rowing boats offer a particularly personal and decelerated experience. The gentle gliding over the water with the help of your own muscle power enables a close connection to the surroundings. Rowing boats are perfect for calm waters such as lakes or slow rivers, where passengers can enjoy nature in peace and quiet. They are also easy to handle and require no special skills.
