Yachtcharter Breege (Island of Rügen)

The Breeger Börde captivates by idyll and the charm of the historical Küstengegend. From here a weekend trip around the island Rügen past the picturesque chalk cliffs of Cape Arkona and Jasmund is worthwhile.

If you are planning a longer Törn vacation, you can also set off from here to the dänische Südsee, or you can combine your Törn with a city trip to Copenhagen. A Törn toward the island of Usedom and the Polish coast is also quite feasible from Breege.

Yacht charter Breege

The old fishing village of Breege, which is also accessible by train and bus, is located on the Wittow peninsula on Germany's largest island of Rügen. The center of the village is without a doubt the venerable Breege harbor, which today shines in new splendor and yet still retains the typical charm of an old fishing port. The thatched old captain's houses from the 18th and 19th centuries are still standing in the village. The old fishing boats bobbing in the gentle waves, as well as the wonderful smell of freshly smoked goods, make you want to go on a sailing vacation. In the surrounding area, idyllic waterscapes of Breeger Börde and the sporting expanses of the Baltic Sea combine to create a diverse region perfect for a yacht charter vacation.

How to get there: You can reach the island by car via the A20 Baltic Sea freeway via Stralsund and from here via the Rügen Bridge. In the summer months the island is a popular destination. Therefore, there may be waiting times. A railroad line also leads to Rügen, this uses the old Rügen dam located next to the bridge. To support car traffic, there is also the Stahlbrode-Glewitz car ferry, which runs daily from April to October.
