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.

Reserve a charter boat of up to 15 metres with a rental operator in Waren or Röbel and lock in a day.
Receive a briefing at the jetty covering boat handling, knots and navigation rules, then sign the charter certificate form.
Head out at a leisurely pace from Waren's town harbour into the open Müritz, where the view opens up across a wide expanse of water.
Drop anchor in a sheltered bay, go for a swim or plan a snack on board.
Moor up in Röbel and take a short stroll around the marina and the old harbour quarter.
Head back to the jetty before sunset, refuel and hand the boat back in good order.
