The Müritz is Germany's largest inland lake, sitting right in the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District. For charter boats up to 15 metres in length and a top speed of 15 km/h, the charter certificate rule applies here, meaning you can take the helm without a licence after a short on-board briefing. Rental operators are based primarily in Waren, Röbel and Plau am See. A day charter on a small motor yacht typically falls in the range of €180 to €320, depending on boat size and season. Along the stretch between Waren and Röbel, reed-lined banks, small islands and peaceful anchorage bays line up one after another.

Anyone who needs a fixed slot should book one to two weeks in advance, and even earlier during peak season. Pick up in the morning, return by early evening, and in between leave time for lunch at a jetty in Röbel or a stop at a quiet swimming bay.
