Catch a true river monster from a houseboat!

You’ll be staying right on top of the fish, and still have your beloved friends and family around you while fishing for true river monsters. And believe it or not, cities such as Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin are the places to be!

Houseboat rentals can be found all over the world, in lots of different shapes and sizes. Some of them moored, others can be driven around and the level of luxury varies from cosy and basic to absolutely insane. But the one thing that all these floating homes have in common is that they give direct access to lots of fishing waters, often very good fishing waters.
Trolling for pike with your houseboat in Berlin
It might sound crazy, but in fact it’s not so strange at all. If you rent a houseboat with outboard engine, for example around Berlin, it’s a great way to catch monster pikes. The river Havel and the many lakes around the German capital are perfect to drive your houseboat while trolling with a big pike lure. Don’t be surprised if your personal record gets crushed here. Check out all houseboats in Berlin.
Giant catfish between floating homes in Paris
The French capital is known as the city of love. But did you know there’s a good chance you will fall in love with the amazing fishing options this city has to offer? Besides zander and perch, you might hook a record size catfish right from your floating vacation rental. Click here to watch a 187 lb catfish being caught between houseboats on the Seine river.

The open waters around the city are easy to reach with a hired fishing boat, fishing guide or (Hobie) kayak that many houseboat owners have for rent.
