Welcome to
Kiel.Sailing.City.

Moin - that's how we greet each other here in the north. We fishermen sometimes like to have a chat, but let's be honest, who needs big words when you're at, in or on the sea? There's nothing better than sitting on the beach or in the harbour, enjoying the peace and quiet and watching passing ships. Soak up the Kiel feeling and come to Kiel.Sailing.City!
