By boat
- There is no regular passenger ship traffic across the North Sea. However, Bremerhaven and other coastal cities are reached by cruises. On the land side, the cities on the Ems, Weser and Elbe can be reached by inland traffic.
- Pleasure boats can be used in Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Nordenham, Wilhelmshaven as well as at the islands. Many marinas on the mainland, on the other hand, cannot be reached or left at low tide, and the moorings themselves often run dry.
