The amended regulations concerning the licenses required for steering motor boats have allowed us to charter the yachts without a license. Thanks to the use of the so-called pulling boat engines we are capable of maintaining the existing operation parameters. Simply speaking, we may compare the yacht's pulling engine to an off-road car with a power reducer. Therefore, our engines perfectly prove themselves on rivers.
Prior to the cruise start, we organize a 2-5 -hour training for you, after which you will be able to steer the yachts yourselves. However, if somebody does not feel fit to steer the yacht and does not want to do it, they may hire a skipper
The charteree will be provided with precise maps and sailing directions in Polish, English and German, including valuable organizational and tourist tips.
We provide a full scope of technical assistance and logistic support en route.

Each yacht has comfortable sleeping places for 6-7 people (each participant will be provided with a sleeping bag and a blanket) and cabinets to put the clothes and personal things in.
The yachts assure the complete comfort during the long trip - the standard facilities, in addition to a WC and shower with hot water, include central heating from, fully furnished kitchen with a refrigerator, hot and cold water and the dishes. Thanks to the large fuel and water tanks provided, the vessels are practically self-sufficient Yachts.
However, if someone gets tired with the camping life, they may use one of the hotels, inns or camping sites located ashore, cooperating with us and take a shower or stay overnight there, instead aboard the yacht.
