Our fleet

Our fleet

We have 28 vessels on the water. Our fleet is diverse – built for the Speicherstadt’s low bridges and the River Elbe’s strong current – and accommodates between 114 and 250 passengers. It moves with the times, too. We are phasing out diesel-electric technology and ramping up our use of electric hybrids. Very soon, we will produce zero emissions. Brand new or well loved, each vessel has its own distinctive character – and plenty of space for commuters, day trippers, tourists and even culture vultures.
