Marina Yachtservice Wilke
Kegelkamp 3, 17493 Greifswald, Germany
Looking for a place to have our 10 meter sailboat taken out of the water and stored for 11 months while we went back to the US. I saw Hanse Yachts Wharf listed on Noonsite but failed to connect with them. I did connect with Yachtservice Wilke Marina, Kegelkamp 3, 17493 Greifswald, Germany on the Ryck River. They were first class in helping us. It was a short walk to Greifswald Wieck, entrance to the river, full of wonderful shops and restaurants.. Yachtservice Wilke has showers, electricity, and water; plus many other services. We really fell in love with the place and look forward to getting back to finish our voyage back to the US.
We were looking for a cheap berth and winter storage for our 34 feet Dehler somewhere/anywhere along Germany’s Baltic Sea coast last year. We were sailing from Finland to Germany and had been planning to leave our boat there. Most of the visitor/small boat harbors charge only for the full summer season, whereas we only needed the berth for a couple of months – and no services, as we would be back to Finland.
In the end, we found a great place and would like to warmly recommend it. We left the boat in Greifswald, a small, quaint and old hanse town south of the island Rügen. Situated there is the Hanse Yachts Wharf that offers full service winter storage at a competitive price (some 20% less than most of the marinas we contacted in the area).
The place is very protected weather wise, as the town itself and the wharf are situated some 3-4 km inland, along a narrow river. Access point is Greifswald Wieck, where the old bridge opens every hour at the hour (from 9 am to 8 pm, if memory serves) to allow boats and ships pass.
Hanse Yacht Werf itself offers a full spectrum of services, from winter storage (as in our case, we will not be present when our boat will be lifted up), rigging services, sail makers, motor service and repairs, hull repair, painting etc and a well equipped marine store. A big yacht rental company operates in the compound, and all normal marina services are provided (toilets, showers, laundry, electricity, water etc).
