Pick up your equipment at the YAAS base in Bad Saarow, where the friendly team will brief you and hand over the gear. No previous experience is required – the lake is calm and beginner-friendly.

Paddle the Scharmützelsee at your own pace with a canoe or stand-up paddleboard rental from YAAS AM SEE – just an hour from Berlin. Often called the Brandenburg Riviera, the Scharmützelsee stretches almost 10 km through the wooded hills of the Märkische Schweiz and is one of the cleanest, most scenic lakes in the region, with calm water, sandy bays, and the elegant spa town of Bad Saarow at its northern tip.

Your booking gives you a canoe for 2–4 people or a stand-up paddleboard for a full day on the water. Whether you want a peaceful family paddle, a SUP workout along the shoreline, or a slow exploration of quiet bays, you set the pace and the route. Life jackets are included for every paddler.
