1,200 PS Along the Baltic: A Short, White‑Knuckle Run From Fehmarn to Heiligenhafen.
This is a compact, full‑throttle introduction to Fehmarn from the water: climb aboard a 1,200‑horsepower inflatable speedboat, slice out of Burgstaaken and trace the island’s wind‑sculpted coast — cliffs, lighthouses and beaches — before a shore stop in Heiligenhafen and an adrenaline‑charged return under the Fehmarnsundbrücke.

1,200 PS High‑speed Maneuvers
The tour delivers a concentrated burst of speed and dynamic maneuvers: a guided high‑speed section lasting roughly 15–20 minutes (weather permitting) with steep turns, speed runs and controlled wave jumps while safety procedures remain in place.
Cliffs, Lighthouses and Natural Beaches
Viewed from the water the route threads past Fehmarn’s steep coastlines, passes lighthouses and several natural beaches, and runs beneath the Fehmarnsundbrücke — a continuous visual highlight for the short voyage.
Heiligenhafen Shore Stop for Local Flavors
After the fast run you land in Heiligenhafen’s marina with about 90–120 minutes ashore to stretch your legs, grab a Fischbrötchen or an ice cream and visit the nearby pier before the return leg.
What the day feels like
What the outing actually feels like
The trip begins with a safety briefing and music on board, then slips from the harbor through the Burger Binnensee onto the open Baltic. The captain alternates measured, scenic cruising with bursts of full power for the high‑speed section; after arriving and pausing in Heiligenhafen you reboard for a slower return that crescendos into another acceleration beneath the Fehmarnsundbrücke.
