Schwerin Lake Boat Tours

We will be visiting Schwerin on September 21st and are interested in incorporating a short lake boat tour in the vicinity of the Schwerin Castle into our tour. Has anyone done this? If so, how long were the tours, is pre-booking required and where do the tours originate from? Any information with the names of companies that provide such services and the costs associated with same would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, The lake boat tours are run by the Weisse Flotte (White Fleet) and start from their jetties right next to the Castle. The web site is in German only but the page below gives all the information you require plus a map of the different routes and is very easy to understand.

The other pages have some lovely photos.

As far as I understand the short sightseeing tours leave every half hour between May and September and last about one and a half hours. The price is 12.50 euros per person. Prebooking is not necessary except at weekends and in peak holiday time (July/August).

Happy cruising :)
