800 PS on the Baltic: a raw, high‑speed run from Grömitz to Kellenhusen.
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.

Outing Highlights
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.
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.
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.

The operator balances showy maneuvers—steep turns, speed sprints and wave jumps—with standard safety precautions and provided protective gear.
