INTRO: Hello Steemian friends! This summer I did my FIRST EVER SPORT-BOAT CRUISES AS A CAPTAIN together with family and colleagues on the beautiful RHINE AND MAIN RIVER NEXT TO FRANKFURT CITY in the central part of Germany.
Today I would like to tell you something about my favorit FRANKFURT SKYLINE SUNDOWNER TOUR I made starting from MAINTAL VIA FRANKFURT CITY and back STOPPING@THE RESTAURANT BLAUES WASSER (Blue Water).
If you still think its boring to do a motorboat cruise --- just look at all the SMILING FACES OF THE PEOPLE - WE HAD A BLAST =)
[1] THE STARTING POINT: MARINA MAINTAL Boat rental@Bootsvermietung Frankfurt
[2] RIDING FROM MAINTAL TO OFFENBACH WATERGATE
[3] ENJOYING FRANKFURT SKYLINE AND HAVING A SUNDOWNER-DRINK
[4] SHORT TURN INTO HARBOUR FRANKFURT WEST

[5] STOPPING AT RESTAURANT BLAUES WASSER AND RIDE BACK TO MAINTAL
[6] MORE DETAILS
- DURATION: 3-4 hours – incl. sundowner
- HIGHLIGHT: Feeling the wind blowing in your face while looking at the Skyline where you see the sun reflecting in the Skyscrapers, having a drink and just being happy that you made some people a great day!
- LOWLIGHT: waiting time at Watergate Offenbach (from 20-30 minutes)
- THE BOAT: Easy to drive and stable BAYLINER ELEMENT XL for up to 8 PERSONS with 100PS ONBOARDER, ride up to 35-40 knots / 50-60km/h [actually feels like 80 knots/120 km/h and gives a smile on everyones face]
*- BOOKING: Bootsvermietung Frankfurt, Frankfurter Landstraße 99, 63477 Maintal, 9-20h, 00491781114030, happy and friendly stuff that give you a good introduction on the boat =)
- COSTS: 250-400 EUR including gasoline / 30-50 EUR per Person (with 8 people)
- MORE DETAILS: one person needs to have a BOAT LICENCE (aka Sportbootführerschein Binnen in German) but there are also fun options to go on the water in front of the Frankfurt Skyline without a licence, too (boats under 15ps or boats with captains like Partyboot.DE for Party people and more Italian Flair Boating for more relaxed People, if you know what I mean ;-)
-RECOMMENDATION: Bring your own drinks/snacks and a MP3 player plus warm clothing when riding during windy/cold weather conditions!
Please give me some comments on how to improve this article for you =) and tell me if you like more pictures or videos.
If you like this post I can also give you some information about my boat cruise on the Rhine Rhiver from MAINZ TO WIESBADEN which also was a lot of fun ;-)
Thank you.
P.S. Special thanks to @timsaid who inspired me to make my first post on Steemit about a boat trip ;-)
Nice photos @travel-bug! I was two weeks ago in Frankfurt but I had been only passing by this place. It seems that there is a lot of fun by exploring the city in that way. I followed your blog as I also like to travel. I'm new to steemit and I'm going to publish photos from my journey soon. Check out my profile if you are interested :)
Cheers!
Thank you @wojtekxt - I would be happy if you resteem my post and I am following you, too. I am looking forward to seeing the impressions of your shorttrip to Frankfurt. Frankfurt ist unlike any other bigger city in Germany - and also Europe. It is small but has an interesting Skyline surrounded by very different quarters. The Main River itself is a plus to the city that improves the recreation value of the city. The best way to experience Frankfurt still is by foot. The boat trip, however, gives you a unique experience to see the city center from a different and very relaxing and fun point of view ;-)
Cheers and have a good start at STEEM =)
