Explore: Kiel (Kieler Hafen)
General Info
Kiel is an ideal place to prepare for a cruise in the Baltic as provisioning is good in the modern city centre and a wide range of repair services are available here too.
Position: 54° 24.14′N, 10° 12.79′E (Loboe Marina entrance)
Clearance
See the main Noonsite/Germany/Formalities page for full details of clearance.
The marina at Laboe is the most convenient place for clearance services.
Note: It is not possible to have your passport stamped with a Schengen entry/exit stamp in Laboe. The only place around the Kiel Fjord such a stamp can be obtained is at the Bundespolizei (i.e. Federal Police) office at Kiel’s central railway station (Hauptbahnhof).

Docking
This large inlet is well served with places to berth. It is also possible to anchor in the Hafen, but the heavy commercial and ferry traffic makes this an unwise option.
Dusternbrook is the most convenient berth for the city as it is 2.4 kms (1.5 miles) south of the canal entrance.
Laboe is a pleasant small town and fishing harbour on the east bank, close to the entrance of the Hafen.
Tiessenkai is a small yacht harbor just north of the lock entrance.
Other berths may be found at Garden, Schwentine, Monkeberg and Moltenort.
