Travel information

On recommendation to Kürnach

We were looking for a bigger boat to stay on weekends and vacations. On recommendation, we went to Kürnach in June 2018 to look at 29 YACHTLINE. We liked it so much that we even signed the sales contract on the way home.

29 YACHTLINE Collection

On April 10, 2019 the time finally came and we were able to pick up our Daisy. Despite the very cold weather we had a great introductory trip with Florian Öchsner. We loved the way the boat was handled and its power.

Then we took Daisy to Senheim, our home port on the Moselle. And of course we spent the night on our new boat, despite the freezing cold.

Vacation on the Moselle

After a few small tours, we went on vacation on July 20, 2019. We went on a tour called sauerkraut with our friends and their boat.

For two weeks, full of provisions and luggage, we traveled from the Moselle to Konz, then back to Senheim via the Saar, the Saar Canal, the Rhine-Marne Canal and the French Moselle.

To cope with this route we had to drive from morning until evening, which allowed us to get completely used to our boat. And after almost 100 locks we are now absolute lock experts.

Fuel consumption was also very moderate. In November 2019 we brought our Daisy to the Öchsner company for inspection and were then given a larger swim platform. Now it is perfect.

Conclusion

29 YACHTLINE was the right decision to buy such a great boat. It is just the right boat for us. It offers enough space so the four of us can live on it comfortably. So we can’t wait for the new boating season to start in April.
