A 1967 Patrol Boat that used to serve on the Elbe River between West and East Germany
This unique patrol boat was built in 1967 in Germany by Yachtwerft Berlin. It was used to patrol the Elbe River between West and East Germany.
After the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 there was no use for these boats anymore by the 'Wasserschutzpolizei' and these boats fell into the hands of a variety of owners.
This particular vessel found its way to The Netherlands where it was thoroughly restored inside and out by its passionate new owners. They named it 'Grenzeloos', which is Dutch for 'Without Borders'. Who could have predicted at that time how suitable that name actually was?
In 2022 the Grenzeloos crossed the Atlantic to move to the Hudson River which is now its new habitat. It is as if the Grenzeloos was always destined to sail this beautiful body of water, as it's elegant hull is perfectly suited for the movements of the Hudson River.
The Grenzeloos is outfitted with a beautiful bamboo interior and decorated with black and white details. The layout is sweet and simple marrying an industrial and contemporary aesthetic.
There is a spacious outdoor recreation area.
Weather permitting the tent generally mostly removed, but we always leave a part covered to accommodate for some shade. There is also the cabin, where the captain resides, that provides some indoor seating.
We have a couple of different river cruise packages available to you.
All our cruises are with a captain. He will take you out on the water and will be happy to accommodate any wishes you might have in terms of route and planning.
A variety of libations and food will be served by your host.
During the week cruises start at 6 PM
6 PM until sunset (min. 2 hours)

The Grenzeloos is docked in the Catskill Creek in the Village of Catskill. Upon booking we will give you specific instructions as to how to get to the boat.
The Grenzeloos is 40' in length. Albeit it a rather spacious boat we limit the number of guests to 6 people to guarantee a safe and comfortable experience. We don't make any exceptions to this rule.
The top speed of the Grenzeloos is approximately 18 MPH. However, we generally cruise at 8-10 MPH. With that speed we generally stay in the vicinity of Catskill, Athens and Hudson. We can travel a greater distance during a Day Cruise (with optional extension of hours). in any case your captain will discuss your cruise options upon your arrival.
There are restrooms at the marina, you are welcome to use before boarding.
We do also have a small restroom on board for your convenience.
Families are absolutely welcome aboard, although we do expect respectful behavior from any guest aboard the Grenzeloos. It is not a playground. That means no running, nu jumping, no noise, no craziness.
Make sure to wear shoes with rubber soles. No leather soles are accepted on board.
Also make sure to bring suitable clothing. On the water temperatures tend to be lower than on land, so a sweater or wind jacket may be desired. There is also indoor space available and we can close the tent.
Please reach out to us if you would like to check availability and/or make a booking. We do our best to get back to you at the soonest, but will respond within 24 hours at the latest.
We will keep you posted on news and special events!
