The 1-hour roundtrip starts and ends in Cochem right below Skagerrak Bridge at these times: 11:00, 12:30, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00.
As you enter one of our impressive ships which provide space for up to 400 passengers including a sun deck you will find a suitable seat with a nice view for you. Inside or outside. From our attentive staff you can purchase soft drinks, coffee specialities, beer and excellent wines which have grown on the mountains and hills around Cochem and moreover some snacks, cake or ice cream.
First the trip will take you downstream through two bridges then on your way back you get the full on-coming view on the Reichsburg (castle) Cochem. The ship glides along the river banks of Cochem where you can see the whole arrangement of houses, hotels and restaurants from the water-side underneath the castle. You will pass the steep and windy mountain Brauselay. With lots of vineyards on both sides the boat comes to Ernst. Here you have the opportunity to get off the boat (just tell our staff, not available in wintertime) and explore the lovely village of Ernst, with lots of opportunities to try and shop wine. There are often various festivities on weekends. The ship turns again on the same way back to Cochem where you get to see the Reichsburg Cochem from another point of view. After 1 hour you are back in Cochem where the tour started.
