When Stuttgart was dedicated to be a harbour town 50 years ago, Karl and Berta Epple were delighted. They thought it a wonderful idea to give the Stuttgartonians and their guests from all over the world the chance to cruise on the river Neckar. In 1957 they founded the Neckar-Personen-Schiffahrt Berta Epple. At the opening of the Harbour in 1958 their fleet was plying the new water.

10 years Neckar-Käpt'n

Ten years ago Wolfgang and Susanne Thie came to the fore. They re-named the fleet Neckar-Käpt’n and led it successfully into the modern times. With a rejuvenated fleet, an attractive offer of cruises and services they welcomed over 6.7 Million guests on board. So everyone may feel young again: The 50 and the 10 year olds.
