Boat rides on the Old Rhine

Speyer is situated on the Rhine, one of the most heavily traveled waterways in the world. Here, a boat trip has a long and significant tradition.

The undisturbed landscape of pastures will fascinate you! Here the Rhine will show to its most beautiful advantage.

Be there when the captain calls, "Cast Off!"

Powerboat and Jetski

Actionsafari, © Wasserskischule Becht Jetski - that makes one think of vacation, sun, water and beach. The spray in your face, the jetboat hopping across the waves, its driver getting soaking wet. The person who, on a hot day, is underway on the Rhine easily forgets about time when it's that much fun riding the waves at high speed. And the speeds are enormous: some models reach peak speeds of up to 100 km/hr (60 mph). For those inveterate enthusiasts, the new 215 hp turbo-charged Jetboat with accelerations comparable to those of a Ferrari provides the feeling that you are flying.
