There are also new developments along the German Baltic coast for the 2026 season. Our area update for Mecklenburg Bay with Fehmarn and Lübeck Bay tells you where.
The island of Fehmarn lies at the eastern end of the Bay of Kiel. As part of the ongoing measures to realise the Fehmarnbelt fixed link, preparations for the tunnel under the Fehmarn Sound are also progressing. However, the Completion of the 1.8-kilometre-long structure delayed by several years and will be significantly more expensive at 2.3 billion euros. The opening is now planned for 2032.
At the Lemkenhafen sailing club, west of the Fehmarnsund Bridge, the second construction phase on the jetty and embankment was completed, including a new power and water supply and fibre-optic WLAN. Investments were also made east of the bridge on Fehmarn.
In the Burgtiefe marina, red and green LED lights on jetty 1 now show whether a berth is occupied or not. Mooring fees can be paid online or at the new machine. A parcel pick-up station is also being planned.
In Großenbrode, Yachtwerft Klemens has renovated its 120 metre-long floating dock E, including all the supply pillars and bollards. Another new feature is an outfitting jetty, which will soon go into operation with a new suction station for black water. This will be free of charge for customers and guests of the shipyard.
The municipal utilities in Neustadt have completely refurbished the jetties at the marina in the city centre with a new non-slip surface. A refurbished barbecue area also awaits guests there for the new season. In addition, the harbour master is now using an electric boat to navigate the harbour basin in Neustadt in order to avoid additional emissions during harbour operations.
Ancora Marina now offers skippers a 24-hour mini-market with vending machines. There is also a new floating jetty F and a new barrier at the road access.
Meanwhile, a new jetty has been completed at the Böbs shipyard in Travemünde, which has increased the number of berths to 180. New floating jetties and a gangway with a joint are intended to ensure greater safety during storm surges. The shipyard has also completely digitalised its electricity meters and is now using a harbour card to access the sanitary facilities.
In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Kühlungsborn boat harbour, together with its partners Dock24 and ADAC, is introducing a new digitalisation tool to simplify mooring in future. The barbecue area has also been completed. The renovation of the harbour house and the restoration of the sanitary facilities are also currently underway in Kühlungsborn. According to media reports, the east jetty of the boat harbour is currently closed for construction reasons.
In Rostock, the entire electrical system in the WIRO Marina Schmarl has been renewed and the berth sizes for boats between 10 and 12 metres have been adjusted. Electricity and water are now included in the berth price. However, the galley snack bar had to make way for the new harbour master's office. The WIRO Marina Gehlsdorf has also been converted to create even more berths for boats up to 10 metres. Meanwhile, the Warnow Yacht Club is completing the refurbishment of its sanitary facilities in time for the start of the season.
The new bascule bridge in Rostock between the city harbour and Gehlsdorf is currently in the planning and tendering phase. Construction has not yet begun in the water. Obstructions for water sports enthusiasts are therefore not to be expected during the current season.
