Times, hand over, cleaning, etc.

The charter period spans from Saturday till Saturday.

The boats will be given out early in the afternoon and are taken back in the morning of the following Saturday.

The end of charter cleaning is compulsory. It guarantees a high standard of cleanliness and saves the dull cleaning duty on the end of the holiday.

On the last Friday of the charter the boats have to check in at Altefähr between 6 and 7 pm in order to check the sails and refuel the tanks.

The station is right next to the old town centre of Stralsund. It is a 2km walk between the town ponds and through the picturesque centre of Stralsund.

Leaving the station you will have to turn right and walk along the road and between ponds for approx. 500m. Then cross the street (Frankenwall) and you should be in a little square in front of the Deutsche Bank branch. Slightly left of your original direction you will find a road called Tribseer Strasse. Enter this road and follow it to the end. You will reach the Neumarkt, to your left you will see the Post office. Keep going straight over the Neumarkt into the Langenstrasse. continue down this street until you see a little lane called Am Fischmarkt. Follow this street for about 500m until you find the ferry in the marina on your right. The ferryies start right next to the road, the time table is available from the the homepage of Ruegenschiffahrt.

If you follow these directions you should easily be able to find your way to the harbour.

Alternatively you can take a taxi. However, you will miss a lovely walk through the UNESCO world heritage site of Stralsund!
