Bootsvermietung Moisl is a family-operated boat rental service based in Potsdam, Brandenburg. The company offers a fleet of small motorboats suited for lake and river outings, including license-free 15 HP ROTO 450 and HYDRA 450 models as well as more powerful craft requiring an SBF-Binnen like the HYDRA 530 and Marion 630. Trips accommodate between five and ten passengers depending on the vessel, and options include boats for groups, families, or experienced license holders.
Guests receive a brief orientation before departure covering safety, handling, and local navigation rules.
