Boat rental in Masuria

Boating in Masuria

Masuria is Poland's great lake district: dozens of lakes linked by canals and rivers, surrounded by forest. Days usually move from lake to lake under sail or motor, with nights in small harbours or at quiet moorings by the shore.

Where to go by boat

• Giżycko

  Main sailing town between the lakes, with Boyen Fortress and a swing bridge over the canal.

• Niegocin

  Large lake right by Giżycko, the starting point for many routes.

• Mikołajki

  Lively lakeside town known as the summer capital of Masurian sailing.

• Śniardwy

  Poland's largest lake, wide open water where the wind can pick up quickly.

Tip: A licence is needed for motorboats over 10 kW and sailing yachts with a hull over 7.5 metres, though some speed-limited motor yachts are exempt; ask your charter company which applies.
