Czechs have taken a liking to small boats, but they must dock them on land. Infrastructure is lacking.

The number of small boat owners in the Czech Republic has increased significantly, with nearly 24,000 registered vessels. However, the availability of docking spaces in ports has not kept pace, leading many owners to park their boats on land. The State Navigation Authority reports a shortage of permanent mooring spots for recreational boats. New ports are planned, but the current capacity remains limited, making it challenging for boat owners to secure a permanent docking location. The construction of new facilities is underway, but it is a long-term process.
