Frequently asked questions before your private boat trip in Potsdam

To help you plan your trip on the Havel in a relaxed way, we have clearly compiled the most important information about guests on board, equipment, tours, booking and individual requests.

👥 Guests on board

Casa Mia is approved for up to 8 guests including children and babies. Together with our crew, this is the maximum passenger capacity.

Our private boat tours in Potsdam are therefore ideal for couples, families, birthdays, small groups or special occasions on the Havel.

Yes, there are enough life jackets on board for both adults and children. Please tell us the child’s age and size when booking so that we can provide the right life jacket.

Depending on the child’s age, the life jacket must be worn in the outdoor area to ensure that your boat trip in Potsdam is safe and relaxed.

Unfortunately not. Casa Mia is a private yacht with typical gangways, different deck levels as well as steps and ladders and is therefore not barrier-free.

If you are unsure whether the boat tour is suitable for someone in your group, please contact us in advance. We will be happy to advise you personally.

For safety reasons, dogs are not allowed on board. This also supports the wellbeing of the animals, as not all dogs are comfortable on boats.

This helps us create a pleasant experience for all guests on your private boat tour in Potsdam.

⚓ On board

Yes. Up to 5 people can find shade on the aft deck while still enjoying the breeze. In case of rain, all guests can stay safely below deck in the salon.

This keeps your boat trip on the Havel comfortable even in changeable weather.

Yes, smoking is permitted in the outdoor areas such as the aft deck, foredeck and sun deck.

Out of consideration for all guests, we ask you not to smoke inside.

Yes. Casa Mia has an electric guest toilet with washbasin.

Sanitary towels and tampons must not be thrown into the toilet, but only into the bin provided. Any resulting blockages may be charged.

Stiletto heels are not allowed on board. Wide block heels are fine. The safest and most comfortable option is flat footwear such as sandals, sneakers or ballerinas.

This allows you to move safely on the boat and enjoy your trip in a relaxed way.

You can pay for drinks on board by credit card, debit card, PayPal or in cash with the exact amount on site.

If you have special drink requests, please contact us before your boat tour in Potsdam.

🗺️ Tours

Potsdam’s waterways offer many possibilities. Depending on how long you would like to cruise with Casa Mia, we offer various tours from 2, 4 or 8 hours.

Popular options include palace tours, sunset tours, romantic tours and individual private boat tours on the Havel.

In principle, yes. Additional docking manoeuvres are possible, but they must be arranged in advance because written docking permits must be obtained for all jetties.

If you are planning a special stopover, please let us know as early as possible when making your request.

Unfortunately, the registry office no longer offers outdoor wedding ceremonies on the ship. However, you are very welcome to celebrate your marriage with us on board after the registry office ceremony.

For romantic trips and special occasions, a private boat tour in Potsdam remains a wonderful choice.

🎀 Decoration

In principle, yes, under certain conditions and at the start of the trip. Please discuss your decoration wishes with us in advance.

This ensures that your private boat trip is decorated stylishly while everything remains safe.

No. As an environmentally conscious company, we are against such actions. Balloons may, however, be used as decoration.

No. For safety reasons, no sparklers may be lit on board, as our ship is largely made of wood.

No. These residues are difficult or impossible to remove and are therefore not permitted on board.

Please feel free to discuss alternative decoration ideas for your boat tour in Potsdam with us.

🍽️ Catering & drinks

Yes. You may bring your own food and snacks on board at no extra cost.

This allows you to design your private boat trip in Potsdam exactly as you wish.

Yes. You may bring your own drinks at no extra cost. Of course, drinks can also be purchased on board. Chilled drinks are available.

We are happy to try to fulfil special drink requests. It is best to contact us before booking.

📅 Booking & procedure

The easiest way is to book your experience directly via our website. If you are still unsure or have special wishes, you can also contact us without obligation via the contact form or by phone.

As soon as we have agreed on the date, time and duration of your trip, you will receive an individual offer. If everything suits you, simply confirm it briefly by email or WhatsApp and you will then receive your official booking confirmation.

Further details such as music, food and drinks can then be discussed calmly before the trip.
