About Wilhelmshaven

Wilhelmshaven lies on the Jade Bay and is Germany’s only true deep-water port on the North Sea. Unlike ports on the Elbe or Weser, access here is largely free from draft and tidal restrictions. The area sees significant naval and commercial traffic, requiring strict adherence to traffic schemes.

For yachtsmen, Wilhelmshaven is valued as a calm and reliable harbour in unsettled weather. It provides a convenient base for coastal sailing within the Wadden Sea area or for departures into the open German Bight.

The city was founded as a naval base, and its maritime character remains dominant.
