- Climate change is disrupting winter circulation, shifting species structures, increasing water level fluctuations and polluting shallow water zones as well as spawning and breeding areas.  
- Quagga mussel spreads en masse, deprives plankton of food, clogs pipes; strict cleaning and detection obligations, especially in Switzerland.  
- Skippers can reduce the burden on the lake by using electric drives, HVO diesel, biocide-free antifouling, hot cleaning >60°C and protecting shorelines and conservation areas.

Lake Constance in distress: how skippers can help protect it

- Humpback whale "Timmi" has broken free and is now lying exhausted and motionless in the Bay of Wismar, water levels are falling again.
- Planned pontoon and lifting bag manoeuvre was cancelled due to water level, situation remains critical due to high stress on the organism.
- Helpers try to guide the whale into the fairway with boats, sounds and waves; private initiative bears the costs and risk, veterinarians monitor.

- Riverly is adding the Grande Lago Alqueva in Portugal to its programme in 2026, a spacious, low-current area without locks for beginners.
- As in all Riverly areas, houseboat holidays are licence-free; guests determine their own route on the lake after instruction.
- Riverly was formed in 2025 from Locaboat and Nicols, offers over 500 boats in three comfort levels and is expanding to include routes in Hungary in 2026.

- Despite only 3 km of coastline, Monaco has a shoreline that is predominantly characterised by harbours.
- Two former natural harbours protected by piers and the Plage du Larvotto beach occupy almost the entire coastline.
- Port Hercule offers a spectacular, amphitheatre-like panorama, is sought-after, difficult to obtain and correspondingly expensive.

- Antibes is not inferior to the fashionable resorts of the Côte d'Azur in terms of charm, old town streets and celebrity guests.
- Port Vauban is one of the leading marinas in the Mediterranean with a high total tonnage.
- The "Billionaires' Quay" offers space for 18 superyachts up to 160 metres in length and the harbour is currently undergoing further transformation.

Charter

- The Bundeswehr is to take over the Plüschowhafen harbour completely, while sports boats and clubs such as the Schwentineflotte will lose their moorings.
- According to the report, there are currently no alternative harbours for the clubs and businesses affected; current contracts are to be transferred to the federal government.
- At the same time, the Kiel-Wik naval base will be expanded and public areas will be removed, while some city-owned marinas will remain.

- Numerous ACI licences are due to expire by 2030, while only a few new marinas are being built along the Croatian Adriatic and some projects have stalled.
- Ports are being modernised on Krk, in Punat, Baška and Sv. Filip i Jakov, in some cases with AI monitoring, new berths and high-quality infrastructure.
- Montenegro continues to allow duty-free and tax-free bunkering for foreign yachts, which is likely to change with the planned EU accession from 2028/2030.

Croatia: Reviernews from the Adriatic Sea

- Croatia remains top charter destination, but sharp rise in costs for moorings, national parks and konobas put a strain on sailing budgets
- Despite a dip in bookings in 2024, charter tourism grew slightly again in 2025, with the charter fleet increasing to 4,718 boats and 100 companies.
- Crews save by taking full catering from their home port, anchoring in free bays, cooking on board and tricks to reduce national park fees.
