Boat rental Lorraine

You can navigate on the Meuse even without a river licence. Meuse Nautic gives you a quick introduction and you can get on board and steer your "souchet". These motorboats are not only very easy to steer, but can also accommodate several people. You can rent them for half a day to several days, to discover the wonders of the Meuse as far as the Ardennes. Meuse Nautic is part of the Lac Vert Plage complex, another must-see spot for those who enjoy water sports.

Based at the Niderviller marina, this German rental company offers fully-equipped houseboats for independent, comfortable navigation, and easy, safe handling. Pilots aged 18 and over are welcome, even without a driving license. Your trip begins at the port with a presentation of your boat and an introduction to river navigation. You'll take your time to discover the region at a maximum speed of 10 km/h on the canals. So you can take full advantage of the surrounding countryside.

Just 300 m from downtown, the Michel Roth marina will delight tourists. Drinking water, electricity, wastewater disposal, laundry, sanitary facilities (with the "Blue Flag" label since 2013 for the quality of its facilities and water) and a restaurant can accommodate up to 95 boats and 45 motor homes. The is an ideal place to rest. To discover the heritage of the city and its surroundings, electric bicycles are available (see with the harbour master's office).

Kuhnle-Tours offers recreational boats with a capacity of two to twelve people in the most beautiful inland areas of Eastern France. The 400 km of inland waterways of the "Little Tour Tower" are very varied: the Canal de la Marne in the Rhine, partially straight, the large Moselle and the Saar river through the landscape and the Saarland Canal in a friendly atmosphere. Throughout the course, you will pass through mountainous landscapes and more flat areas. The variety between cities is also remarkable: active cities such as Nancy, Metz or Saarbrücken via small wine villages to the historic city of Schengen. And the locks? Manual on the Saarland Canal, automated on the Canal de la Marne in the Rhine and at the main gauge on the Moselle. For the different cruises offered, take between 3 to 14 days, or 100 to 400 km.
