Forget the shore and jump into the waves! Lodě Česko rents out all kinds of motorized vessels in Central Bohemia—including houseboats, motorboats, and motor launches. Whether you want to take a leisurely cruise down the Elbe or get your adrenaline pumping on the Vltava, just pick a boat, put on your captain’s hat, and set sail for adventure.
Lodě Česko: A rental service for everyone
The boats from Lodě Česko know every bend in the Vltava and Elbe rivers in Central Bohemia like the back of their hand, and with their help, you can discover them too. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or you’ve only ever swum in a pool, here’s some advice on how to do it. You don’t need a license for most boats – all you need is a quick training session and a desire to explore the world from the deck, but captains who are in their element at the helm will definitely find their niche here!
Where should you go to enjoy the ride to the fullest?
Central Bohemia offers truly magnificent routes: the Vltava and the Elbe. If you take a trip down the Vltava River, you’ll be treated to iconic views of Nelahozeves Château, where you can dock, grab a coffee, and admire the place where Antonín Dvořák was born. Or maybe Zelčín, where you’re more likely to meet animal friends. On the Elbe, you’ll once again sail past historic towns such as Brandýs nad Labem and Mělník, with a view of the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers. And if you want to experience a real thrill, head to Slapy – the speed and the wind in the hair are amazing there!
If you get tired of just cruising along, stop for lunch at a place like Marina Vltava in Nelahozeves, where they serve everything from burgers to hearty Czech cuisine. And if you still have some energy left, rent a paddleboard at Slapy or try catching your dinner with a fishing rod – there are more fish swimming in this massive lake than you’ll find on a sushi restaurant’s menu.
It’s a piece of cake, so give it a try!
Forget about complicated reservations and captain’s exams. On the Lodě Česko website, you can choose a boat, enter your date, and you’re all set in just a few minutes. On D day, you’ll arrive, get a quick orientation (they’ll show you how not to ruffle the pier when you land and how to avoid the swans), and then you’re ready to set sail. You’ll always find out where to pick up your future partner right at the specific boat, so keep that in mind, but head mainly toward Mělník. All boats are equipped with GPS and basic safety gear, so even if you get lost, they’ll find you. And if you’re planning a wild adventure on a boat and want to rent a cabin boat for the night, that’s no problem – with a kitchenette, toilet, shower, and sun deck, you’ll have everything you need. After all, it wouldn’t be the same without spending the night out on the water, would it?

When you’re on the Vltava River, stop by Marina Atlantida in Slapy – not only will you enjoy a great meal, but you’ll also get to take in the view of the dam. While on the Elbe, stop by a restaurant in Mělník, where they’ll serve you such a hearty beef tenderloin that you’ll start wondering if you shouldn’t just buy a permanent berth there. And the wine to go with it?!
You can spend the night either right on your boat or find a camp-ground along the way. Camping at Marina Týnec nad Labem is a sure bet – peace and quiet, stars above, and a peaceful slumber to the sound of flowing water. Simply the ultimate in boating romance.
So start the engine and set sail!
Boats in the Lodě Česko are perfect for anyone who wants to explore Central Bohemia in a way other than on foot or by bike – simply in a fun and stylish way! From a leisurely cruise down the Elbe to a brisk trip across the Vltava reservoirs – just pick a route, rent a boat, and set off. So, when are you going to take it out on the water?
