Sport-Piraten

What Sport-Piraten does

Sport-Piraten GmbH is a Munich-based outdoor adventure tour operator founded around 2013, with operational headquarters at Lenggries in the Bavarian Alps. The company runs guided canyoning, whitewater rafting on the Isar, E-mountain biking, tubing, snowshoe hiking, and igloo-building experiences for individuals, friend groups, and corporate clients, supplemented by a corporate team-events service line. Revenue is generated through per-person ticket sales (€86-€239 across tour tiers), digital gift vouchers, and equipment rentals (snowshoes, E-bikes) at two locations. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company relies on the Regiondo third-party online booking system embedded via iframe and operates direct-to-consumer via its website plus phone, email, and WhatsApp contact channels.

The business is structured as a privately held German GmbH with two Managing Directors (Christian Kinzler and Rodrigo Cidad) and approximately 20 named seasonal guides plus additional summer/winter hires. Guides hold certifications from DKV, BVkanu, and IRF, and the company holds the Isar Quality Seal. The customer base is split between individual consumers (primary) and corporate clients (secondary, no named enterprise accounts). Distribution relies on a regional partner network spanning hotels, restaurants, travel agencies, water rescue organizations, and meta-search platforms (KAYAK, Campaya), with cross-border offerings into Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding.
