Climb aboard an 800 PS speed‑inflatable and cut across Lübecker Bucht from the Grömitz yacht harbor to Kellenhusen and back, watching piers, beaches and the Dahmeshöved lighthouse slide past as the boat alternates between scenic runs and two short high‑speed bursts. The tour combines a thorough briefing, music on board, showy turns and jumps over the swell, and a hands‑free 45‑minute stop ashore at Kellenhusen for a snack or a quick beach break.

THE ROUTE

Coastal landmarks from the water

The route threads past the Grömitz Seebrücke and the beaches of Lenste and Kellenhusen; from the sea you can pick out the Dahmeshöved lighthouse and the Kellenhusen pier as the boat eases alongside for the onshore break.

THE ADRENALINE

Two short high‑speed stages in an 800‑horsepower craft

The experience is built around energetic maneuvers—steep turns, rapid acceleration and wave jumps—delivered in two high‑speed segments (each roughly 15–20 minutes) bookending the port stop, all while safety equipment and briefings are provided.

THE STOP

A relaxed pause at Kellenhusen

After the first high‑speed leg the boat slows to tie up at the Kellenhusen side outrigger for about 45 minutes—time enough for a Fischbrötchen, an ice cream or a quick dip; hand luggage is carried free of charge.

What the day feels like

What the trip feels like

The outing begins with a concise safety briefing and music on board before the boat slips from Grömitz yacht harbor into open water. The crew alternates measured sightseeing and pointed, high‑power runs: after a first short high‑speed burst the boat eases up at Kellenhusen for a shore pause of roughly 45 minutes, then returns with another adrenaline‑charged leg back to the Grömitz base. The operator balances showy maneuvers—steep turns, speed sprints and wave jumps—with standard safety precautions and provided protective gear.
