Yachtservice Kiel

Winschservice und folierungen vom profi, bei uns bekommen sie professionellen winschen-service und yacht-folierungen.

Mal Hand aufs Herz: Wann haben Sie Ihre Winschen das letzte mal warten lassen? Damit der Verschleiß möglichst gering bleibt und die sichere Funktion der Winsch gewährleistet ist, kommen Sie nicht um eine jährliche Wartung vorbei. Auch wenn die Winsch sich scheinbar frei dreht, können im inneren Salzablagerungen wie Schleifpapier an den Lagerflächen und Rollen material abschleifen und so zum vorzeitigen Verschleiß oder Ausfall der Winsch beitragen. So weit muss es nicht kommen – gerne schaue ich mir Ihre Winsch von innen an und zeige Ihnen, ob eine Wartung notwendig ist. Sprechen Sie uns einfach an.

Beim Anlegen einen Kratzer eingefahren? Kein Problem!

Für nicht so perfekte Anlegemanöver haben wir auch eine Lösung: Unseren Folienservice! Damit können alte Kratzer abgedeckt und der Rumpf vor neuen Kratzern geschützt werden. Wir folieren ab dem Wasserpass Ihren Rumpf bis ans Deck! Auch der Austausch der Folie ist problemlos möglich – entweder durch eine partielle Folierung oder wenn es nach vielen Jahren wieder Zeit wird durch eine komplette Folierung. Wir sind immer für Sie da!

Tel.: 0176 – 811 733 40

Allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel!

Ahoi Steffen Henssler Kiel

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

The Kieler Yacht Club is an upper-middle class restaurant that will satisfy your palate without doing too much damage to your wallet. The venue itself has a fantastic location, with a great view of the Kiel bay. Decoration is very modern, with metallic finishes and... colourful lighting. It projects a sophisticated atmosphere but could perhaps be toned down a bit. The menu was interesting and I had a hard time choosing, as many dishes sounded tempting. I opted for the smoked shrimp bisque and the labskaus as it is a favourite dish of mine. The soup was tasty and the smoked shrimp were an interesting take on a staple seafood. The main dish was very decent, not the best I've had but definitely well prepared and a generous portion to boot. Additionally the staff surprised me by their mastery of foreign languages, switching from fluent English to my native Polish once they heard where I was from. All in all, a good experience and a place that I will be visiting again. More

We had booked a later time but got hungry so called to see if we could change time, that wasn’t a problem at all. All staff were super friendly and we chose some comfortable outdoor seating, although inside is styled really well with lots of... detail and it really stands out from other restaurants. To drink we ordered a Duckstein and Sarti Rosa Spritz (the Spritz was not the best, a small-ish size and tasted a little bit like mouthwash toward the bottom). When the drinks arrived the waiter smiled warmly and asked about our food orders, he was happy to wait whilst my husband finished deciding what he would like… we went for a Lachs Sushi Bowl, Salad with Baked Cauliflower & Hamburger Pfannenfisch. All the food was very tasty, well cooked (especially the fish) and prepared with delicious sauces, dressing and accompaniments but it wasn’t anything to say ‘wow’ about, it was a good meal but nothing overly special that I would remember to tell friends and family about. For the price / portion size I don’t think we would return which is a shame as the location is lovely. More

I had scallops followed by a Holstein Heffer. Meat was tender and flavoursome. Service was very friendly and not obtrusive. Wine selection appeared good with the wine chosen by my hosts very pleasant. Aspect is stunning looking out over the water with great memorabilia.

After spending two weeks in Germany and indulging in hot chips and schnitzel, we were excited to take a break from this routine and enjoy a culinary experience at 'Ahoi'. We had booked a dinner in advance to celebrate Mother's Day away from our three... children in Australia. We had ordered both entrées and mains, and our first drink had already arrived. However, after waiting for half an hour, we had to ask our waiter about our order, and he seemed confused, confirming that it had 'gone missing'. Eventually, our meals were reordered, but even after waiting for an hour and a half, we were left disappointed by the German interpretation of Japanese dishes – the tuna sushi bowl and sushi steak. The avocado and mango in the bowl were under-ripe and should have been left on the trees or in the chef's kitchen. The tuna was over-seasoned and unpleasant to eat, although the beetroot on the side was tolerable. At this point, we decided to abandon our food and drinks and find somewhere else to eat, perhaps sticking to burgers and hot chips. Ahoi! More

I went to Ahoi Kiel in a family group and I was considering it for business dinners. The place was loud with a poor atmosphere, similar to a canteen. The food was generally disappointing and poorly presented. I expect more when I go to a... restaurant with a famous owner. I am glad I did not have the "Fish and Chips" as the only thing British about them was the name. The presentation in a basket did not help the two small pieces of fish and chips look any better, the name is not deserved. The two in our group who ate them had funny tummy’s in the morning. Could have been just the fat. I must say I can get better fish and chips at a local German fast food fish restaurant. The Burgers were acceptable but not as good as the ones served by a local Kiel food truck. The Schnitzel was tasty but poorly presented. The steak was apparently 200g, ordered medium rare but came half well done, the garnish was missing. The special Steffen chips were only different because they had herbs and chillies strewn on them. The cheese cake was too sweet and a big disappointment. All in all expensive for a fast food experience. More

This place advertises its view of the fiords but don’t expect much from it. Nevertheless, the food and hospitality at this place is fantastic so won’t even remember about the view. I also found the decor to be above satisfactory. So all in all, if... you are in town, do stop by. More

Very disappointing. For the price paid I would have expected high quality food. The fish had no taste and came served with undressed potatoes and salad. Potatoes without salt and salad without vinegrette or olive oil. Cannot reccomend it.

In kiel you need to eat fish. Be a bit more adventurous with the wine. So go beyond Robert Weil. Jacobs musseln, bouilabaise, etc it is al good

Ate lunch here on a beautiful day. The restaurant offers a view of the fjord with an outstanding menu that has regional german cuisine. There is attention to detail not only in the service but also in the selection and presentation. I had a local... fish dish that was prepared perfectly and my husband had the special of the day; local asparagus with salmon. We would return again. We unfortunately ate elsewhere for dinner and regretted it - it is hard to compete with the KYC. More

What a tasteful design at the club and at the restaurant. Service, polite and friendly. Menue not to big, right balance for a good kitchen. The chief seems to be a master of food,and design. We eat fresh fish, risotto , wine selection very good.... I loved the remarks,,that only a no of bottles are left over. Price is good for,the value. We had on a foggy day a sunshine dinner. Next time in Kiel ,we will stay at the club. More

Guide to Transiting The Kiel Canal

Updated: Nov 1, 2023

At approximately 60 miles long, the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal (North Sea-Baltic Sea Canal) or Kiel Canal as it is most commonly known, is the route most often used by yachts visiting the Baltic Sea and is frequently used by Oceantrax on yacht deliveries.

For many people, navigating inland waterways can be quite daunting, especially when shared with large commercial vessels, however it need not be. To help aid a smooth passage we have put together this brief guide from our experiences.

Firstly, for the average pleasure yacht there is little to worry about when it comes to height or depth restrictions. Vessels with an air draft of 40 metres are permitted to use the canal, well above the height an average pleasure yacht will need. The depth is kept at 11 metres which again is far beyond the requirements of the average yacht, although close to the edge it can be less and in certain places signs will indicate a minimum distance to stay away from the bank because of shelving.

APPROACHING THE BRUNSBÜTTEL LOCK

It is worth noting that the tide combined with river flow can be quite strong in the Elbe, so timing your approach to and from the canal is essential if you have an underpowered vessel.

The small vessel lock is the furthest east, although there is a small chance you could be directed into the commercial ship lock depending on how busy it is and if there is space available. If you are directed into the commercial ship lock, beware of turbulence from larger vessels’ props as you enter. Allow any larger commercial ships to enter first unless told differently by the lock keeper.

There is no waiting dock outside of Brunsbüttel Lock. The waiting area is to the east of the approach boundary staying clear of pilot boats and commercial shipping. The lock keeper will have seen you on their camera and will open the lock gates. Ensure you are on the correct VHF channel (13) and watch for the signal lights:

Single red light, entry is forbidden.

Flashing white light, proceed in to the lock.

Be aware that the pontoons in the lock are very low, only fractionally above water level and there are no lines set up, so you must have lines ready to tie off to rings on the floating pontoons. Fenders should be at water level. You will notice some yachts will actually have fenders in the water lying on their sides.

TRANSITING THE CANAL

There is an 8kts speed limit throughout the canal and yachts may only transit during daylight hours and not in reduced visibility. Official daylight hours vary according to the time of year and at the time of writing are:

01 Jan. to 15 Jan. 07.30 to 17.00 hrs

16 Jan. to 31 Jan. 07.30 to 17.30 hrs

01 Feb. to 15 Feb. 07.00 to 18.00 hrs

16 Feb. to 28/29 Feb. 06.30 to 18.30 hrs

01 Mar. to 15 Mar. 05.30 to 19.00 hrs

16 Mar. to 31 Mar. 05.00 to 19.30 hrs

01 Apr. to 5 Apr. 04.30 to 20.00 hrs

16 Apr. to 30 Apr. 04.00 to 20.30 hrs

01 May. to 15 May 03.30 to 21.00 hrs

16 May. to 31 May 03.00 to 21.30 hrs

01 Jun. to 30 Jun. 02.30 to 22.00 hrs

01 Jul. to 15 Jul. 02.30 to 22.00 hrs

16 Jul. to 31 Jul. 03.00 to 21.30 hrs

01 Aug. to 15 Aug. 03.30 to 21.00 hrs

16 Aug. to 31 Aug. 04.00 to 20.30 hrs

01 Sep. to 15 Sep. 04.30 to 20.00 hrs

16 Sep. to 30 Sep. 05.00 to 19.30 hrs

01 Oct. to 15 Oct. 05.30 to19.00 hrs

16 Oct. to 31 Oct. 06.00 to 18.30 hrs

01 Nov. to 5 Nov. 06.30 to 17.30 hrs

16 Nov. to 30 Nov. 07.00 to 17.00 hrs

01 Dec. to 31 Dec. 07.30 to 17.00 hrs

Full details can be found on the official guide for pleasure vessels can be found here .

This does not apply to craft making for the approved berths in Kiel-Holtenau Lock approach and Brunsbüttel recreational craft berth, or to craft locking out to the Elbe after notifying the lock keeper. If in any doubt the lock keeper can be contacted on Brunsbüttel: +49 (0) 4852/885-252 Kiel: +49 (0) 431/3603-152.

Once in the canal transiting is relatively straight forward, although you may be in close proximity to large commercial vessels and there are numerous car ferry crossings to be aware of. There are signs on the bank of the canal warning of the approaching ferry crossings.

All vessels are required to keep a VHF listening watch and channels are designated to areas of the canal. These are:

VHF channel 13 (call Kiel Canal I) Brunsbüttel lock area

VHF channel 2 (call Kiel Canal II) Brunsbüttel – Breiholz reach

VHF channel 3 (call Kiel Canal III) Breiholz – Kiel-Holtenau reach

VHF channel 12 (call Kiel Canal IV) Kiel-Holtenau lock area

Yachts must transit the canal under power, although sails are permitted to aid propulsion. Tacking however is prohibited. Vessels that can keep 6kts can transit within a day, even on the shortest of winter daylight hours. If it is not possible to complete the transit during daylight hours there are places where pleasure craft can berth or anchor for a night.

These can be found at:

Brunsbüttel recreational craft berth north side of the canal just past the lock. This berth can suffer from wash from passing commercial vessels.

Berth in the turning area of Dückerswisch siding – north side (km 20.7), maximum draft 2.40m.

Berth before Gieselau lock– (entrance at km 40.5), maximum draft 2.40m. Canal fees can also be paid here at the lock keeper’s office.

Berths in Lake Obereider. Possibly the best stop if you need provisions, fuel, yacht services or if you just want to stop for a few days break. The town of Rensburg offers most things a visiting yacht could need including bars, restaurants and good rail links. (entrance at km 66)

Berths in Lake Borgstedt (entrance at km 67.5)

Berths in Lake Borgstedt (entrance at km 70). Head to the bridge middle section in Lake Borgstedt air draft of 22m. There are power lines at the entrance of the lake also with 22m air draft.

Recreational craft in Lake Flemhude (entrance at km 85.4)

Kiel-Holtenau (km 98.5) Pass through Holtenau lock in to the Baltic immediately to the north. Yachts arriving at night can wait here until daylight hours to enter the canal. There are limited facilities here, with no shore power and there can be wash from passing vessels entering and leaving the canal. There is a berthing fee which can be paid at the pay machines. Canal fees can also be paid at the same machines by card or cash.

HOLTENAU LOCKS

At arrival at the Holtenau end of the canal the small/pleasure craft locks are to the north of the commercial ship locks. However at the time of writing this lock is closed for maintenance and will probably be for some time, so yachts are directed to the bigger commercial lock and will be passing through with large shipping. The pontoons here are the same as Brunsbüttel, very low and again care should be taken when passing large ships due to turbulence from props. In Brunsbüttel and Holtenau locks there are ladders however these are only there for emergencies and should not be used for any other reason.

MARINAS NEARBY

If you know you will be at the entrance to the canal outside of the operational daylight hours, it can be worth considering a marina close by rather than Brunsbüttel recreational craft berth or the berths just outside the lock at Holtenau, both of which have limited facilities and can be effected by wash from passing shipping.

The options at the Brunsbüttel end are limited. For the purpose of a yacht delivery, Cuxhaven is our preferred option with several places available including LCF Cuxhaven and Segler-Vereinigung however it should be noted that Segler-Vereinigung closes from October 31st to 1st of April every year.

There is also the possibility of berthing in the heart of Cuxhaven. However if you are planning on spending one night before entering the canal in the morning, the above marinas are a better choice as they allow easy access without having to pass through lock gates or swing bridges. Cuxhaven to the canal entrance is approximately 15 miles up the river Elbe. If you catch the tide right this can be completed very quickly, however if you get it wrong it can be a long and slow motor.

At the Holtenau/Kiel end the choices are better with a wide range of marinas close to the entrance and minimal tide to account for. Again for the purpose of a yacht delivery we tend to choose the closest to the canal entrance so we can start our transit as soon as daylight hours allow. For this we have found Sporthafen Stickenhörn Marina perfect.

All yachts must pay to use the canal. Sometimes it is possible to pay at the recreational craft berth just inside the lock at Brunsbüttel if there is an inspector present. The fee can also be paid in the office at Gieselau Lock or at the control tower at the Holtenau Locks. At the time of writing neither of these locations accepts cards.

There are also two pay machines at the recreational craft berth at Holtenau which take both cash and card payment (although from past experience occasionally card payment is not functioning).
