The landing stage at Kurpfalzbrücke on Cahn-Garnier-Ufer is where the Kurpfalz passenger ferry company departs in Mannheim. Regular tours leave from here on the Rhine and Neckar, including harbour cruises through one of Europe's largest inland ports and evening twilight tours.
For the queer community, the dock is best known as the departure point for "Boat of Love," a party cruise marketed as a Queer Rhine-Neckar Cruise that runs several times a year with music and drinks on board. The event is organised by an outside ticketing operator, not by the dock itself.
The pier is publicly accessible and a short walk from Mannheim Kurpfalzbrücke station. There are no fixed opening hours in the usual sense — what matters is the departure time of each boat tour.
