Anchorages in the Mecklenburg Bight & Bodden Coast

Open Mecklenburg Bight — monitor VHF in commercial ports; Hanse Sail (August) fills Warnemünde

The Mecklenburg Bight is the most open part of the German Baltic — Baltic swell builds in NW–N winds. VHF 12 mandatory at Warnemünde/Rostock (cruise ships, ferries), VHF 11 at Travemünde (Finnlines/TT-Line ferries to Scandinavia). Hanse Sail (August): 300+ traditional sailing vessels make Warnemünde extremely congested — book berths months ahead. The Trave river to Lübeck (12nm) is one of the great inland passage experiences in Germany.
