SUP Club Stade (Stade Beach)

Although the city of Stade is an attractive target for tourists there was a lack of trend offerings especially for younger people. The city is situated along the river Schwinge and is mostly surrounded by water. But there were only a few offers like "Fleetkahnfahrten" - guided tours in a small boat for 22 people that sails on the "Burggraben" (kind of moat). The concept "Stade beach" combines lending of canoes, with trendy sport like stand-up-paddling and a relaxing-zone on the grass beach, so the offer comprises different activities on and next to water. Groups can rent the beach area and the "Beach House" for their celebrations. Since August 2018 you can also rent a so-called “barbeque-donut”. This special boat looks like an oversized donut. In its centre it has a grill surrounded by seating facilities for up to ten people. An electric motor is installed so the drive-system is eco-friendly. On weekends there are stand-up-paddling-classes and in summer people can do yoga on a stand-up-paddling-boards. Both, inhabitants and visitors, use the offers. For marketing and booking there is a cooperation between the provider and the STADE Marketing und Tourismus GmbH. Due to small events the place of STADE Beach became a favourite meeting point for everyone.
