Bremerhaven : Profile

Location

A busy city, the centre of which recently has been much improved.It lies about 20NM south of Cruxhaven, on the eastern shore of the Weser.

There are several possible mooring areas for yachts here. The first is in the river Geeste where it is possible to berth on the downstream side of the Kennedy bridge, but this is short stay only and is noisy and exposed.

A better berth would be found by locking into the Schleusenhafen via the western lock. Here there are 3 marinas to choose from; the Weser YC, NYC (Bremerhaven) marina or the WVW Wulstorf marina.
