Rent a boat on the Müritz - an unforgettable boating holiday

The Müritz is the largest inland lake in Germany and a true paradise for water sports enthusiasts. With an area of almost 120 square kilometres, a length of around 30 kilometres and a maximum depth of around 30 metres, it is picturesquely situated in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District. Surrounded by unspoilt nature consisting of forests, meadows and waters, the Müritz is one of the most popular destinations for boating holidays and yacht charters in Europe.

For unforgettable experiences on the water, boat hire on the Müritz is an ideal choice. Here you can hire motorboats, sailing boats and houseboats and enjoy the beauty of the region to the full. Many lakes and canals are accessible from the Müritz. However, a narrow strip on the eastern bank of the Müritz is closed to water sports in order to preserve the natural environment.

Which boating licence do I need to rent a boat on the Müritz?

If you adhere to the specified conditions, the Müritz can also be navigated by motorboat without a licence:

• you get a charter licence (Charterschein) after detailed instruction by the charter company,
• from wind force 4 Beaufort, boating is prohibited for the rented boats,
• the boat may only be moved in the designated navigation channel,
• you may only stay overnight in harbours.

How much does a yacht charter on the Müritz cost?

You can hire both motor and sailing boats on the Müritz for less than EUR 1,000 per week. If you prefer more space and want to enjoy the summer on the Müritz as a group, you can also charter a large steel yacht for more than 10 people for over EUR 4,000.

Yacht charter on the Müritz - popular trip destinations

The region offers numerous nature experiences. Whether in the gentle, hilly landscape around the Müritz, in the Müritz National Park in the north-east or (not only in bad weather) in the Müritzeum in Waren - there is always something new to discover. Popular destinations for day trips are the harbour towns of Röbel and Waren.

The idyllic and tranquil Röbel is recognised as a health resort and, with its pretty harbour on the long waterfront promenade and the neat, cheerful old town with its ring streets lined with half-timbered houses and imposing early Gothic church towers that greet visitors from afar, is rightly known as the ‘colourful town on the Little Sea’.

The state-recognised spa town of Waren not only attracts visitors with spa treatments, fresh air and salt, but also presents itself as the somewhat livelier sister of Röbel. With its numerous events and festivals, a colourful shopping scene in small, select shops and a wide range of restaurants, it offers cultural, shopping and culinary experiences.
