Germany

Situated in the north east of Germany, the beautiful network of lakes and canals of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg form an idyllic cruising area. Noted for its clean air and waters, this area is as popular with boating and watersports enthusiasts as it is with nature lovers.

Visit the Berlin Cruising Companion.

Impressive nature reserves are home to an abundance of flora and fauna, and the surrounding forests, moors and green pastures are perfect for picnics, countryside walks and bicycle rides. Splendid lakeside houses and Baroque castles punctuate the landscape and offer a glimpse into the aristocratic lifestyles of bygone eras. Try your hand at kayaking or sailing on the magnificent Lake Müritz or simply enjoy cruising at your leisure, stopping for a glass of refreshing beer at waterside medieval villages. City lovers will enjoy the rejuvenated city of Berlin, with its eclectic mix of designer shops and historic monuments.

Both our bases at Potsdam and Marina Wolfsbruch are within license-free cruising areas. From Potsdam you can do a short trip to Göttin without a license. To continue your cruise to Brandenburg, or to cruise from Potsdam to Spreewald or to do the one way up to Marina Wolfsbruch, you would need to either hire a skipper for a day (EUR 100) or obtain a license. For help obtaining a license before departure, please speak to our sales team. All cruising areas around our base at Marina Wolfsbruch are license-free and/or do not require a pilot until you reach Liebenwalde. Please see map for more details.
