The New Danube offers a destination for balmy summer evenings that combines physical activity with Viennese coziness. At Pier 22, you can rentstylish electric boats and explore the Danube Island from the water. What makes this special is that you don’t need a boating license to take the helm yourself. Booteria at Pier 22 in Vienna not only offers boat rentals but also has a bar on the shore. So you can order drinks right there and even take them with you on your boat ride.
Relaxed cruising without a license
First, you choose one of the three different models waiting at the dock. The “Blue Line” model, priced at 30 euros per hour and seating up to four people, is a great option for beginners. If you’d like to go a bit faster, the “Speed Boat” is available for 36 euros per hour and is also approved for a maximum of four people.
If, on the other hand, you’d like to explore a larger area, you can rent the luxurious “E-Yacht” for 60 euros per hour. This boat can accommodate up to six people, so nothing stands in the way of a group outing. Since steering is a breeze, casting off is completely stress-free, which is why even beginners can handle it right away.

Cocktails and sundowners at the summer bar
Once the trip is over—or even before it ends—you should definitely stop by the charming summer bar. Here, maritime flair and Viennese bar culture come together right on the water, with a drink selection ranging from coffee to top-notch cocktails. Especially at sunset, the location becomes a real highlight because the light reflects beautifully on the New Danube.
There’s also a very special offer for all bargain hunters and connoisseurs. Happy Hour takes place there daily from 6 to 8 p.m., when you can grab refreshing drinks to wind down the day in a relaxed way. So it’s worth planning your boat trip so that you’re out on the water during exactly those hours.
After all, the venue offers the ideal setting, whether for birthdays or a casual get-together with friends. So round up your loved ones, grab a boat, and enjoy tasty drinks accompanied by great music surrounded by greenery. While the Danube Island is already a popular destination, this combination of a boating experience and a club-like vibe is the cherry on top of summer.
