Alter Hafen

Tucked into the historic canal town of Friedrichstadt — a place built by Dutch settlers in the 17th century — this marina sits right in the heart of a remarkably preserved Dutch-style townscape of gabled houses and interconnecting waterways. You're mooring in the old harbour, which means the town's brick-lined canals, cosy cafés, and the iconic Binnenhafen are essentially on your doorstep. Friedrichstadt itself is one of those rare spots where the architecture and atmosphere genuinely feel like a detour into the Netherlands without leaving Germany.
