Overall rating
Ralf is a very nice and honest landlord. Everything was fine. I can only recommend it
We are enchanted! Thank you, Ralf, for letting us use your boat. We had four wonderful days on your beautiful houseboat. The range of equipment was really top notch, everything was first class. We were also impressed by your caring manner - beforehand, during the briefing, during the stay and afterwards. If you rent here, you are doing everything right. We hope to see you soon! All the best from Thomas, Simone and Nena
It was a wonderful trip with the MoDo houseboat and it won't be the last. The houseboat is incredibly lovingly furnished with every detail in mind. You really only need to bring your clothes and a little food for the fridge and you're ready to go. All the things you normally have to bring with you for a holiday home are already available here on the MoDo houseboat (e.g. cooking oil, spices, washing-up liquid, soap, shampoo, etc. even water bottles, coffee and coffee pods, mosquito candles etc. etc.). The houseboat is very functionally furnished - a real holiday home on the water. I discovered stand-up paddling for the first time. Energy and water supplies were no problem, we were completely autonomous for 5 days. Communication with Ralf was always great, courteous and everything perfectly organized. An absolute recommendation and we will definitely be back.
The four of us had a wonderful long weekend on the boat. Everything was perfect, from the great introduction to the beautiful houseboat to the fact that you can find basically everything you could possibly need on board. We would love to set off again straight away!
We were very satisfied with everything, thank you very much Ralf, for the wonderful experience on your boat!
Contact, boat, Ralf himself - everything was perfect! We had a lot of fun spending a few days on the houseboat, thank you again for that! The introduction was really great, the boat was prepared with great attention to detail, good equipment, ...
We had a great time on board with our 9-year-old son. Ralf is a very dedicated landlord and we received intensive instructions on how to use the boat. Ralf even solved an electricity problem during the trip immediately using remote diagnosis and helped us. We received a very warm welcome on board and would book Ralf's boat again at any time. Thank you for the exciting experience!
It was our first trip on a houseboat and thanks to the charter license we were able to do it without a boating license. Ralf welcomed us personally after a precise, friendly and open discussion and was very supportive at the beginning of the adventure. The handcart for loading was one of the many practical ideas that Ralf incorporated into his "houseboat" concept. The first few kilometers served as an introduction to the charter license and Ralf was able to explain everything to us. After the first lock, our adventure began. We spent the next few days in cozy bays, exciting canals and adventurous locks. Locking such a large boat is always exciting, but thanks to the design of the boat it is very beginner-friendly. The position of the outboard motor is always in view through the central aisle, the power is there and thanks to the bow thruster it can be corrected at short notice. Other houseboats look more bulky. Ralf's technology also works great. Thanks to the large storage and solar panel, electricity was not an issue for us on the way. We only filled up and pumped out water once in one week. And that was with 2 adults and 2 children. But we also had plenty of opportunities to go swimming. The week went well. Ralf recommended the tour to Bad Sarow. That suited us well. The boat is also well equipped. Great inventory including a small starter set. Ralf was always easy to reach if we had any questions. We also caused some damage and here too Ralf's reaction was calm, understanding and super helpful. Thank you for the great memories and your support in all situations. Maybe there will be another tour in the other direction when I have my boating license. Best wishes Family B.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Ralf! Thank you for giving us such an unforgettable experience. We are still speechless and reminiscing. We had a really incredibly relaxed and wonderful extended girls' weekend on this houseboat, which was furnished with attention to detail. Even before we arrived, Ralf was a super helpful host who was easy to reach by phone and responded quickly by email. We didn't lack for anything during our stay either. The briefing before we were left to our own devices was really great! He showed and explained everything to us with the patience of an angel. The houseboat's equipment is absolutely perfect. We had the time of our lives with the stand-up paddle that came with it and we were able to relax wonderfully on the great roof terrace. This was certainly not our last holiday on a houseboat and when the time comes again, we will definitely book this one! See you soon ? Juliane & Angelika
A very pleasant landlord!! And the boat corresponds to the online description - very comfortable.
A worry-free package! From the briefing, equipment and return, everything went perfectly. Even questions during the trip were always answered quickly. We had a very nice and relaxing week on board.
We had a wonderful long weekend on board this houseboat. We didn't miss anything and we could just enjoy ourselves. The handover and return went absolutely smoothly. We'll definitely do it again. Thank you for everything!
Top instruction! Top boat! Top area! Would love to come again!
We were able to enjoy MoDo for 18 days! A warm welcome on the jetty from the Mutter Lustig restaurant, a detailed introduction, well documented! The room layout, interior design, furniture are well thought out and arranged with great skill. The first impression - a lot of heart and soul has gone into this, not only functionally furnished and equipped, but lovingly decorated to make you feel comfortable :-) which is what the four of us did. The on-board technology, with generously sized water/waste water tanks, solar panels, etc., allows you to travel independently, the 40 hp engine pushes MoDo powerfully but quietly across the water. For us it was simply perfect! Theo, Vreni, Uschi and Walter
Five Star Plus! Hello everyone This is the second time this month that I have booked the boat for a “work weekend”. While I was working, my husband and junior went out on the boat for a bit. We cast off to sleep and anchored together - a dream. Nothing going on, we were almost alone. Despite the bad and cold weather, we were able to enjoy the warm and dry evenings. The boat and the equipment, simply great. Pickup and return were flawless, friendly and relaxed. We have saved Ralf and his houseboat as a favorite :-) Kind regards Martina-Ulrike, Peter and Marco
Hello everyone. Ralf and the boat are simply TOP! Everything as described. Very friendly and helpful. Totally uncomplicated. The boat is cozy and really cozy and warm, especially in this winter season. I didn't miss anything. Taking a hot shower and reading a book comfortably on the sofa - so brilliant. I've already reserved a second weekend... :-) Thank you very much and Kind regards, Martina

Uns gefällt am besten, dass mit dem Losmachen der Leinen sich sofort alles entschleunigt. Seit Jahren geniessen wir dieses Gefühl auf und mit dem Wasser. Als technisch vielseitig interessierter und handwerklich sehr begabter Mensch, habe ich uns ein gemütliches Hausboot geschaffen, welches zuverlässig funktioniert und viele lieb gewonnene Aspekte des „schönen Wohnens“ erfüllt. Beim Ankern auf einem schönen See und Früh morgens mit den Tieren in den Tag zu starten, ist einfach herrlich. Wir sind sehr dankbar und froh, solche Momente mit erleben zu dürfen.
