The harbor complex includes modern facilities for leisure sailors and commercial fishing vessels.

Insider tips

Bring wind-resistant clothing as the exposed coastal location often experiences strong Baltic winds.

Check the local wind conditions before planning a boat trip through the Ulvsund strait, as currents can be challenging.

Visit the nearby Møn island via the bridge for coastal cliff formations after departing the harbor area.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim within the active boat basin due to boat traffic and submerged infrastructure.

Good to know

Port facilities are accessible year-round, though visitor services and amenities primarily operate during the summer sailing season.

Etiquette

Respect private boat docks and keep clear of active commercial fishing zones.
