Yachthafen Schmöckwitz

Yachthafen Schmöckwitz sits on the southeastern edge of Berlin where the city gives way to a labyrinth of lakes and waterways, putting you within easy reach of Köpenick, the Brandenburg backwaters, and — if you're feeling ambitious — a route all the way to the Baltic Sea. It's one of 26 marinas in Berlin, but its position on Schmöckwitz makes it a standout base for longer multi-day trips rather than a quick city launch.
