May 2026 · Tübingen from the water
These shots are from one of our recent trips, with no gloss. This is what it really looks like with us.
Tübingen, from the water
With us you always book the whole boat, never single seats. Up to 16 of you fit on board — and there's guaranteed to be nobody along that you don't know.
We glide along the Neckarfront, past the Hölderlin Tower and the collegiate church. From the water, the corners Tübingen is famous for look different again. We'll tell you whatever you're curious about — and if you'd rather just enjoy the quiet, a quick word is all it takes.
Whether you come with family, with friends, or with the team from the office, we take our time for you. No assembly line, no boat leaving every minute — just a few calm hours on the river.
“Tübingen, just once — with no rush at all.”
Tours
You always book the whole boat — a Stocherkahn, a flat wooden boat we pole along the river, a bit like a Venetian gondola or the punts of Oxford and Cambridge. Up to 16 people. How long you stay out is up to you, and that sets the price.
An hour along the Neckarfront — classic Tübingen from the water, perfect for your first time out.
All the way around the Neckar island in an hour and a half to two. We even slip through the “needle's eye,” the narrow gap that gets so tight during the boat race.
Tübingen in the evening, when the sun hangs low and the water turns still. Our favorite time — especially for couples and laid-back groups.
The whole boat just for you — birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, work outing, or graduation. Bring your own bubbly, beer, and snacks.

What guests say
A few words from groups who've already been out with us.
„War schon auf einigen Stocherkahnfahrten, aber die hier hat mir besonders gut gefallen. Man hat gemerkt, dass nicht einfach nur das Standardprogramm abgespult wird. Lockere Atmosphäre, angenehme Gespräche und insgesamt einfach eine richtig entspannte Zeit auf dem Neckar. Hat sich eher angefühlt wie eine Fahrt mit einem guten Kumpel als eine klassische Tour. Klare Empfehlung."
Google"I came all the way from Chicago and this was one of my favorite experiences in Tübingen. The atmosphere was relaxed, the views were beautiful, and it was a great way to spend time with friends on the Neckar. What really stood out was that Julian speaks both English and Spanish, which made everything easy and welcoming for our international group. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Tübingen!"
Google„Tolle Erfahrung – immer wieder gerne! Die Stocherkahnfahrt mit Julian war super entspannt und definitiv eines der Highlights unseres Abends in Tübingen. Sehr angenehme Stimmung, tolle Atmosphäre und einfach perfekt, um mit Freunden entspannt auf dem Neckar unterwegs zu sein. Besonders gut fand ich, dass alles unkompliziert organisiert war und man nicht mit fremden Gruppen zusammengewürfelt wird. Man merkt sofort, dass Julian das mit viel Leidenschaft macht. Würden jederzeit wieder buchen!"
