Highlights
Outing Highlights
Seven to a dozen paddlers: designed for group dynamics
Teamkanus are built for groups of 7–12 people, forcing coordinated paddling and clear communication so the whole boat moves together — an ideal practical exercise for classes and youth groups.
Exceptional stability and carrying capacity
With a beam of 1.35 m and a carrying capacity of over one tonne, the team canoes are among the most stable high-capacity boats available — built to hold large groups and gear securely.
A day on the Bodensee: fresh air and open water
Participants spend a day moving across Lake Constance, experiencing the region’s natural setting while working together in a single craft — simple, social, and active.
What the day feels like
How the day feels
The rental is an unguided day on the Bodensee: groups meet at the Kanustation in Wallhausen, outfit themselves with provided boats, paddles, life jackets and dry barrels, and then—under the direction of an experienced paddling leader from the group—spend the day paddling, practicing coordination and team communication in a single, high-capacity canoe.

For severe weather forecasts (thunderstorms, strong winds of 4 Bft. or more) the operator will generally cancel the rental the day before; if the rental cannot be conducted due to force majeure, no payment is required except the operator retains the deposit (20%) as compensation. A 'Schönwettergarantie' allows cancellation up to 24 hours before if rain is forecast, with only the deposit retained.
