Things to do in Berlin on the weekend

IJsselmeer day with a trailer boat

Early in the car, slipway in Lelystad. A long day on open water calls for checking the wind and keeping the VHF radio ready.

Wadden crossing for the first time

From Lauwersoog to Schiermonnikoog with the tide in your favour. Having an experienced skipper on board saves four hours of stress.

Boating licence in six weeks

Theory at home, an exam booked. No camping-week course, no rush. Six one-hour evenings is all it takes.

Moving with the cargo bike

A small or medium-sized move done entirely by cargo bike. Fifteen to thirty trips, three days, no moving van.

Dance Like Nobody's Watching

Close the door. Put on a playlist. Dance for thirty minutes without a mirror, without judgement, without stopping.

Renting a boat without a licence on the Canal de Bourgogne

Cruising the Canal de Bourgogne on a liveaboard or day-boat without a licence, between Tanlay, Tonnerre and Venarey-les-Laumes, for a day or longer.

Team outing 24 hours on the water

A group of colleagues boards a historic sailing ship for a full day and night. Together you sail out on the water, cook on board, hold a work session, and sleep in bunks.

Cold Water Reset

A deliberate day with cold water. Cold showers, open water, and the edge of discomfort. Not punishment, presence.

Mosel bei Cochem Boot mieten scheinfrei

Eine kleine Yacht in Cochem übernehmen und scheinfrei auf der Mosel zwischen Weinhängen, Schleusen und Burgblicken einen Tag oder ein Wochenende fahren.

Stranger Connection

Start three real conversations with people you don't know today. Not networking. Not performing. Just human contact.

Renting a Boat on the Rhine near Cologne Without a License

On the Rhine near Cologne, an official boat license is required. License-free rental boats on Fühlinger See or a skippered charter still offer a full day out on the water.

Berlin Hidden Gems

Skip the tourist circuit. These seven spots are the Berlin that locals keep to themselves. No order, no rush, no museum queues.

Rent a Boat on Lake Constance Without a Boating License

A day on Lake Constance in a small motor or electric boat that can be operated without a license. Departures are usually from Konstanz, Friedrichshafen, or Lindau.

Getting married on board a flat-bottomed sailing ship

A ceremony and reception on a historic flat-bottomed vessel, with guests sailing along, a skipper at the helm and the horizon as the backdrop for the vows.
