With Rib Saimaa, you’ll discover Saimaa’s breathtaking destinations from a fresh perspective, including the Astuvansalmi rock paintings, the paradise island of Rokansaari, and the historical Kukonharju and Käyhkää canals!

We offer options for adventure seekers, history enthusiasts, work teams, companies, celebration groups, and various special events. The boat accommodates up to 11 passengers.

For groups, you can also book a minibus to transport your party to the cruise departure point.

Rib Saimaa also operates as a water taxi wherever the boat is located. During the summer, the boat is generally in Ristiina at the beginning of the week and in Puumala toward the end of the week, but exceptions are possible. The boat can also be easily transported by trailer to a location closer to you. The best way to check the boat's location is to contact us.

P.S. Don’t worry about bad weather! We provide weatherproof deck jackets and flotation suits to keep you comfortable in any conditions.
