Do You Need a Licence to Rent a Boat?
In Germany, you don't always need a licence to rent a boat.
- Boats up to 15 hp: On inland and coastal waters, you can drive boats with up to 15 hp of engine power without a licence.
- Houseboats: Many houseboats can be rented without a boating licence, since they come with a short briefing instead.
- Sailboats & rowing boats: Most sailboats, rowing boats and pedal boats can be used without a licence.
For larger motorboats or certain waters, a boating licence may still be required. Check with the rental provider near you which boats are available licence-free.
