Lake Constance: charging and the rules on the lake

On Lake Constance we know of one public charging post for boats backed by a source: at the BMK marina in Langenargen on the German shore, in service since the end of April 2026 according to a report. A second is announced at the Krüger shipyard marina in Gottlieben, Switzerland. Smaller electric boats often charge overnight from the berth's shore power, which rarely suits large batteries.

Announced

• Gottlieben (Thurgau, Schweiz)

  A second charging post for boats on Lake Constance, at the Krüger shipyard marina, reported as being planned. About 33 kilometres by water separate Langenargen and Gottlieben.

What applies to electric boats on the lake

• Licence above 4.4 kW

  Anyone in charge of a powered boat above 4.4 kW on Lake Constance needs the Lake Constance boat licence. The lake's navigation regulations make no exception for electric motors.

• Registration with an electric motor too

  Powered boats on Lake Constance must be registered. Category A of the licence, for motor boats above 4.4 kW, has a minimum age of 18. Electric stand up paddle boards are not allowed on the lake.

• The electrics on board

  With an electric starter, the system must be switchable off by an easy to reach main switch close to the battery. Switches and sockets must be splash proof, and cables must not run through the engine bilge.

Whether your motor stays below 4.4 kW and how far the battery takes you is worked out by the electric boat calculator.

Floating charging stations

A floating charging station is a pontoon or raft with its own battery, often under a solar roof, that needs no cable to the shore. There are still very few. We only include what an operator, builder or project page describes in public, each with a date.

• SolarChargingStation der Werft SolarYacht Where: River Havel, Plauer See near Brandenburg an der Havel · In service

  Floating platform with a solar roof, a 100 kWh battery and eight shore power outlets. The builder says the first units were opened in summer 2024. A report of 4 July 2024 placed it on the Plauer See, with blue CEE sockets and up to 3.7 kW per outlet.

• Floating eHub von Bouillet Energy Where: River Spree, Citymarina Rummelsburger Bucht in Berlin (Spree km 23.9) · Described as a project

  Floating pontoon with solar and wind modules, battery storage and a charging post for leisure boats and water taxis, not connected to the grid. The project listing gives 2023 as the year; it does not confirm that the station is in regular service.

Up to the date of this page we have found no floating charging station with a source on Lake Constance.

Shore power or charging post: why it matters

The blue camping socket on a pontoon (CEE, 230 volts, 16 amps) delivers at most about 3.7 kW. A charging post with a Type 2 plug manages 11 or 22 kW, provided the charger on board accepts that much. Leaving losses aside, a 40 kWh battery needs almost eleven hours on the camping socket and under four at 11 kW.

That is why plain shore power does not count as a charging point in this directory, even when it appears on the chart. How far one charge takes you is shown by the electric boat calculator.

What to look for in your own policy

Electric and hybrid boats raise questions a petrol boat does not. When you read your boat policy, check whether it records the boat as electric or hybrid, whether damage from a short circuit or to the battery is covered and up to what amount, whether your own charging equipment ashore is included, and what it expects from you when charging and storing the battery over winter.

Call before you go

A charging post may be out of order, occupied or only work with one particular app or card. So call the marina before you set off, and plan with a reserve that would still get you back to last night's berth.
