The Spree pirates are the 14-year-old twins Marie and Louise , their brother Matze and their sister Trinchen . Together they experience many adventures in Berlin. When her mother, Karin Kukowski , went to the cure for four weeks, they and their father Klaus decided to completely renovate the apartment. In the meantime, they move in with grandparents Anna and Otto Zwicknagel , who live nearby on the Marianne II houseboat . The twins have the idea of ​​celebrating a renovation party in the empty apartment, and so the work is finally done with the active support of the party guests. When Karin's return, there is a second surprise in addition to the renovated apartment: Taxi the dog is a new member of the Kukowski family.

When Grandma Zwicknagel suddenly dies, Otto isolates himself more and more from his environment. Fortunately, an old friend, Eddi the icebreaker , turns up and brings Otto's life back to life with his good mood. While working as a taxi driver, Klaus Kukowski met Madame Patard and her granddaughter Joelle from Strasbourg , who were looking in vain for a hotel in Berlin. Without further ado he accommodates her on the Marianne II. The twins make friends with Joelle, who is the same age, and Otto with her grandmother. The fall of the Wall in November brings even more visitors and a big surprise: The Spree pirates learn that they still have an older half-sister in the GDR .

Otto Zwicknagel plans together with Eddi the icebreaker, the neighbor Frau Brachvogel and her resolute daughter Renate to convert the Marianne II into a hotel ship. There are also changes for the Kukowskis: They have to look for a new place to stay because their apartment is to be converted into an expensive condominium. The new apartment is cheaper, but also smaller and on the ground floor. The crucial catch is that dogs are not allowed. Luckily, when taxi saves the caretaker's life, he changes his mind and the Spree pirates can keep their dog.

In the summer, the Kukowskis finally want to go on vacation abroad. Through the mediation of Madame Patard, they can swap their apartment with a family from Strasbourg and see their friend Joelle again.
