Book your short getaway in the heart of Werder (Havel) on Brandenburg’s numerous lakes and waterways, such as Schwielowsee, Glindower See, the waterways in Ketzin, Templiner See, Petzinsee, or Zernsee. Our houseboat, the Havelbiber, is furnished with great attention to detail. It’s perfect for couples and families looking to relax and unwind amid the diverse natural surroundings of Werder, near Potsdam and Berlin.

With the Havelbiber houseboat, you always have your own home with you. An innovative layout offers plenty of space and comfort. Measuring 12 m long and 4 m wide, the houseboat is easy to maneuver and fits into any slip. A cozy apartment on the waters of Brandenburg with sleeping accommodations for up to 6 people, featuring 2 separate sleeping cabins and a comfortable sleeper sofa. Ideal for families with children. There are also two bathrooms. One bathroom features a shower and sink, and there is a separate restroom with a toilet.

A dream vacation on the water—once you’re out on the water, you’ll never want to be anywhere else—pure nature, wildlife all around you and so close—and above all—PEACE, RELAXATION, SLOWING DOWN, AND TIME—with family, friends, or your partner—PRICELESS.

Werder (Havel) and the surrounding waters in the Brandenburg and Berlin regions feature numerous lakes worth visiting, such as Schwielowsee, Glindowersee, and, among others, the beautiful waterways in Ketzin. We’re centrally located near Berlin, Potsdam, and the Himmelreich campground. “Once a houseboat, always a houseboat” is our motto here. We’re happy to assist you with route planning, recommendations, and additional tips—such as water sports in Potsdam and Brandenburg or perhaps a historical tour of our beautiful island in Werder (Havel). You can also book SUPs, a Weber grill, or an electric motor for your dinghy.

Whether with children, friends, or your partner—an unforgettable experience—whether by day or night—the family of ducks that’s hungry in the morning and swims around the houseboat in Werder, or the absolutely incomparable moments in the evening, whether as a couple or a group of four, enjoying the spectacular sunset, the flora and fauna in Werder (Havel), Potsdam, and Berlin—

Not in the mood for crowded hotels, mainstream tourism, and just a little bit of nature? Then you’ve come to the right place—a private, personalized experience with all-around service, even during the trip.
