A boat trip is just...
... unforgettable. See the region’s impressive vineyards from the water, explore the Stuttgart region on a raft – the Neckar-Käpt´n Stuttgart makes all this possible! The Neckar passenger boat company operates serviced boats which can accommodate 40 - 400 people.

The boarding-point is directly opposite the "Wilhelma" in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. A wide and varied selection of trips is available:

  • regular scheduled services
  • short tours
  • special themed events such as an over-27s Disco Pasta Night
  • music and wine on board
  • delicious wine-tasting with nibbles
  • rafter’s brunch
  • Huckleberry’s raft rides
  • on-board entertainment (provided by Talentstall)
  • relaxing ‘coffee tour’

It is also possible to book trips all year round for special occasions such as weddings, family celebrations or office parties. Extras such as a dance band, entertainer, flower arrangements or decorative banners can also be arranged on request. Optional catering can include a set meal or a cold buffet with drinks.
