Boats, Trips and Bike Transport Services

Boat Rentals

Experience of boating and chart-reading skills are a prerequisite for driving the big cabin boat. Lake Saimaa is very rocky and marked routes must be followed at all times, apart from beaching. Boat renting involves a security sum and rental contract. Also the boat rental fees must be paid in advance. The security is paid back when the boat is returned unscathed.
Boat rental terms and conditions (pdf)

The big cabin boat is rented out with or without a driver.

The small boats are perfect for fishing nearby.

Bike Transport Services over Lake Vetojako

From spring to fall, we offer bike transport services for cyclists from Lintusalo to Hurissalo or vice versa. The transport boat is a fast aluminum boat (Faster) that fits two bikes and cyclists with their gear. Standard routes are: Hurissalo, Kivisalmi - Nestorinranta (approximately 10 km) and the shorter route Ruokotaipale - Nestorinranta (approximately 4 km). Transport services should be booked well in advance, since the transport boat is also used for other purposes, and therefore isn't necessarily available on a short notice.
See the map for the standard routes:
