A few impressions from our trips — and Tübingen the way you only get to see it from the river.

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.

Tours

Which tour suits you?

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.

01

City tour

An hour along the Neckarfront — classic Tübingen from the water, perfect for your first time out.

02

Island loop

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.

03

Sunset tour

Tübingen in the evening, when the sun hangs low and the water turns still. Our favorite time — especially for couples and laid-back groups.

04

Your celebration

The whole boat just for you — birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, work outing, or graduation. Bring your own bubbly, beer, and snacks.

Voices from on board

A few words from groups who've already been out with us.

★★★★★

„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!"

"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!"

„Eigentlich hatten wir die Fahrt eher spontan in unseren Mädelstrip eingebaut – am Ende war es das, worüber wir danach am meisten geredet haben. Mega entspannte Stimmung, viel gelacht und einfach ein richtig schöner Nachmittag auf dem Neckar. Würde ich sofort wieder machen."

„Sehr professioneller Fahrer. Man hatte gleich den Eindruck, dass er genau weiß was er tut. Wir hatten einen klasse Austausch und die Fahrt war wirklich eindrucksvoll. 100 % empfehlenswert!"

„Julian sorgt auch bei nicht so schönem Wetter für eine gute Atmosphäre. Man kann sich gut mit ihm unterhalten und man bekommt sogar ein paar Insidertipps und Infos über Tübingen. Sehr empfehlenswert!"

★★★★★

„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."
