This is a day on the Bodensee built for groups: oversized, exceptionally stable team canoes that seat seven to twelve people, an emphasis on teamwork and communication, and open‑water paddling that delivers fresh air, exercise and the region’s calm lakeside scenery.

THE TEAM

A day designed for group dynamics

Team canoes require coordinated paddling and shared decision‑making, making them a practical exercise in communication and group cohesion for companies and large social groups.

THE BOAT

Built for stability and load

The team canoes measure 1.35 m in width and offer a carrying capacity of over one tonne, delivering exceptional tip‑resistance for large crews working together.

THE SETUP

Simple, all‑inclusive one‑day rental

The rental supplies the team canoes, paddles, life jackets and gear containers so groups can focus on paddling and the shared experience rather than equipment logistics.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You meet at Kanustation Wallhausen, launch a broad, stable team canoe and spend the day paddling together on the Bodensee—an activity that mixes low‑impact exercise with opportunities to practice coordination and leadership within your group.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this one‑day rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Corporate teamsWell suited: facilitated team exercises aren’t provided, but the canoe setup naturally fosters communication and joint problem solving for company groups.
2
Large social groupsIdeal for groups that can assemble at least seven paddlers and up to twelve per team canoe; group discounts apply for very large numbers.
3
FamiliesFamilies can participate—children and youth up to 15 paddle at half price when accompanied by parents; very young children under 6 ride free with their parents.
4
Paddling‑experienced leadersBest for groups that include at least one paddling‑ and watersports‑experienced person to lead the canoe, since the rental is unguided and requires on‑board leadership.
