Auswanderer

The “Auswanderer” boats are traditional wooden excursion vessels and a true nautical rarity in Europe. Crafted with care and an eye for maritime heritage, these boats combine the charm of historic shipbuilding with the pleasures of modern leisure. Each vessel accommodates around 25 to 30 passengers, offering an intimate experience on the water. Powered by sail or auxiliary motor, the “Auswanderer” boats glide gently across the surface, allowing travellers to experience the beauty of the Steinhuder Meer from a unique perspective. Whether surrounded by the soft sound of waves or the crisp wind in the sails, every journey becomes a tranquil escape into nature. Their distinctive shape and character have made them a beloved symbol of the region’s sailing tradition, linking past and present in graceful motion. Perfect for families, school groups or individual explorers, a trip aboard these boats transforms a simple outing into a moment of maritime nostalgia. With their warm wooden decks and relaxed pace, they capture the timeless spirit of sailing—authentic, peaceful and unforgettable.
