Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Who it suits This is a fantastic choice for large groups or multi-family holidays on European inland waterways, think 8, 12 people looking for a floating home base rather than a sailing adventure. It's perfect if you want comfort, space, and zero nautical experience required.
Standout features Four cabins and sleeping for up to 12 makes this genuinely spacious for a 14.9m vessel, and the bow thruster takes the stress out of tight locks and moorings. Electric toilet, heating, and a full galley mean you're living well on the water, this feels like a proper holiday home, not roughing it.
Value for money Zero deposit is unusually generous and brings the barrier to entry right down. For groups splitting costs across 8, 12 people, daily rates on inland waterways are typically excellent value compared to coastal charters, especially when you factor in self-catering kitchens and no mooring fees in many regions.
One honest note This is 2003-built, so systems will be showing their age, expect occasional maintenance hiccups and don't assume cutting-edge comfort. The houseboat experience is leisurely (you'll cruise at walking pace on rivers), so book this if you want relaxation, not exhilaration.

Marina Fürstenberg sits on the Havel River in Brandenburg, offering straightforward access to Germany's inland waterway network. Week one typically involves cruising through the Mecklenburg Lakes system or exploring the Havel's lock-based passages towards Berlin, with relatively gentle conditions suitable for skippers new to German waters. The marina works best for clients seeking a relaxed inland charter focused on small towns, cultural stops, and manageable daily distances rather than coastal sailing.
