Boat rental / Hamburg

Sightseeing the other way round! Enjoy Hamburg by boat on the small canals in the city surrounded by green trees and expensive buildings - at least this is the impression you will get when you rent a boat starting from the City Park because lots of wealthy people are living around that area along the Alster lake and its canals.
The City Park is located in the North of the Alster lake and you can rent boats on the socalled "love island" (Liebesinsel) in the south of the big pond in the park. When you leave the pond, after the bridge follow the canal into the right direction - the left direction is not so exciting. If you have time you can go with the boat until the main Alster lake but you shouldn't move too far into the middle as the wind and streamings are quite unpredictable and there are also other bigger sailing boats out there.

It's forbidden to drink alcohol while being on the boat so be aware of this or at least clever enough not to be seen by the water police who is patroling on the canals especially on busy days in the summer.

There are lots of boat rentals in Hamburg with different range of prices and also different kind of boats (rowing boats, kanu, kajak, paddleboat, etc.) - the rental service at the city park is just one of them! For more information use the German word for boat rental in google: "Bootsverleih" ! There are lots of discounts (for students) and special offers, just ask!
