Matthias Reim sells Lake Constance boat after 13 years of ownership

Departure from Lake Constance boating

German pop singer Matthias Reim has concluded thirteen years of boat ownership on Lake Constance by selling his private vessel. The 68-year-old musician described the transaction as a pragmatic move following a prolonged period during which the craft saw almost no operational use. Over the past two years, the boat remained tied to its mooring berth rather than cruising across the water. Reim explained that his household only took the vessel out on two occasions across the entire two-year span, with each trip lasting approximately thirty minutes. The singer noted that navigating the lake with his young daughter on board proved far less relaxing than anticipated, which diminished the practical appeal of keeping the watercraft in active service.

“I am not that attached to such things.”

Evolution of family life on the water

The recent inactivity at the dock contrasts sharply with the family routine Reim maintained on Lake Constance a decade earlier. About ten years ago, the musician spent time aboard the boat on an almost daily basis during the summer months. Those earlier seasons involved his older children and their friends, with the group frequently hosting barbecues and spending their days living directly on the water and along the shoreline. In the intervening years, those older children grew into adulthood and relocated to various different places. Reim pointed out that the departure of the older children changed how the boat was used, and he observed that keeping an idle vessel tied to a dock resulted in continuous financial depreciation.

New album release and lifestyle transition

The sale of the watercraft arrives as Reim prepares for the release of his upcoming musical recording. The singer is scheduled to put out a new studio album titled Flashback on the coming Friday. Letting go of the vessel caused little emotional hesitation for the artist, who expressed a clear preference for clearing away possessions that no longer match his family's daily requirements. Reim and his family continue to reside in the Lake Constance area while streamlining their recreational assets. The decision reflects a broader effort by the musician to divest from surplus property that has outlived its functional utility for his household.

“Away now, everything just gone.”

Ongoing sale of Stockach real estate

Alongside the disposal of his boat, Reim is seeking a buyer for his expansive residential property located in the town of Stockach on Lake Constance. The real estate listing represents a far larger financial proposition than the watercraft and remains unsold on the market. The residential building encompasses 600 square meters of living space arranged across 13 individual rooms. The estate also features two separate swimming pools and a fully equipped wellness area designed for relaxation. Reim stated that finding a buyer for the residence requires locating an individual who specifically needs a home of that physical scale and layout.
