Kappeln Marina

Kappeln sits on the Schlei fjord, one of Germany's most scenic inland waterways, giving the marina a sheltered, almost lake-like feel rather than the exposed conditions you'd find on the open Baltic coast. The town itself wraps right around the water, with a historic herring smokehouse, swing bridge, and a lively quayside just steps from where you tie up. It's a proper little town with bakeries, restaurants, and a yacht centre on hand, so you're well set up whether you're staying a night or a few days.
