Highlights
Outing Highlights
Tandem designed for two
The tandem Waterbike is built for two people, is simple to pilot both forward and reverse, and is easy to step on and off—designed for relaxed, accessible cruising.
Quiet, low‑impact city cruising
This rental is explicitly eco‑friendly with no CO₂ emissions; the craft can carry up to 220 kg and reaches a maximum speed of 14 km/h—built for comfortable pace and sightseeing rather than speed.
Family‑friendly and child‑permitted
Advertised as family friendly: children may ride when accompanied by a parent. The tandem suits two riders; if your group has an odd number of people, an air mattress (charged extra) is required for shared comfort.
