Boat trips and rentals

Boat and barge rentals

For a freer visit, boat and barge rentals are available. At your disposal, boats with and without a license to allow everyone to sail on the Alsatian rivers. No need to panic! Before leaving the boats, the rental teams give the necessary instructions for a smooth trip and for novices to lead their boats.

Flat-bottomed boat rides

For a bucolic moment close to nature and more intimate, flat-bottomed boat rides are offered in several of our towns and villages. The rustling of the water as it touches the boat rocks the small groups for a soothing and relaxing visit in the heart of our Alsace.
