Our fleet
We are very proud of our beautifully restored historic fleet – it is a piece of Austrian boating history to come and experience the Styrian Salzkammergut. Welcome aboard!
MS Rudolf
at Lake Grundlsee
The pride of our fleet, our MS Rudolf is the most historic motorised passenger boat on Lake Grundlsee.
Our beautiful flagship was built in a shipyard in Linz in 1903. It has had many names over the years such as “Mr Rudolf”, “Fürstin Kinsky” and “Rudolf Erlbacher”.
In its early years the MS Rudolf was powered by a 25 horse power steam-engine but in 1954 the ship was upgraded to a diesel engine. In 1965 it was given a face lift and remained in this traditional style right up until 2016. At the start of 2017 the ship was completely renovated, retaining its classic looks as well as installing an environmentally friendly electro-diesel hybrid engine.
MS Traun
at Lake Grundlsee
Built by a shipyard in Linz in 1972, the MS Traun has been the most popular boat for special occasions and tourist groups on Lake Grundlsee. Thanks to its charming wooden structure everyone is always kept warm and dry regardless of weather conditions.
In the winter of 2016/17 the MS Traun also underwent a complete renovation. Whilst maintaining the original looks on the outside, the inside has been remodelled in a modern style and the engine upgraded to an economical diesel-electro hybrid.
MS GÖSSL
at Lake Grundlsee
Grundlsee´s gem. Built in 1931, the MS Gössl is a truly beautiful wooden boat and a visual highlight of our fleet. Freshly renovated in 2017 the MS Gössl is an excellent choice for special boat trips with small groups, a unique taxi services or specialised photo shoot.
Insider tip: Take your loved ones for a sunset cruise and enjoy the serenity of the lake while you savour a few drinks before dinner.
"Plätten"
at Lake Toplitzsee
Plätten – traditional long wooden boats, similar to the Ventian style gondolas – are a large part of Salzkammerguts culture.
Taking a Plätte across Lake Toplitzsee is the only way to visit the secret Kammersee Lake. We operate four of these traditional boats which are powered by outboard engines. Several boats can also be moored together for the transportation of bigger groups.
