Heligoland consists of two islands: main island (Hauptinsel) to the west and the Dune (Düne) to the east. Heligoland is now a holiday resort and enjoys a tax-exempt status, as it is part of the EU but excluded from the EU VAT area and customs union, and consequently, much of the economy is founded on sales of cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and perfumes to tourists who visit the islands, but also tax-free Diesel for ships. | |

Heligoland is located 30 nm north off the German coastline and as most of the harbours along the East Frisian and North Frisian coast are located 'behind' the islands, they can only be reached by passing through the Seegaten between the islands. These Gatts should not be entered at night and it is dangerous to enter under fresh- to strong onshore winds and it is even impossible to do so under stormy conditions. Therefore, Heligoland is the best and safest harbour for a stopover. | Heligoland is located 30 nm north off the German coastline and as most of the harbours along the East Frisian and North Frisian coast are located 'behind' the islands, they can only be reached by passing through the Seegaten between the islands.

Helgoland / Heligoland

Heligoland (German: Helgoland) is a small German archipelago with its characteristic red cliff line, (61 meter high), located in the Heligoland Bight (part of the German Bight) in the south-eastern corner of the North Sea, approximately four hours sailing time from Cuxhaven (35 nm) at the mouth of the River Elbe. Heligoland consists of two islands: main island (Hauptinsel) to the west and the Dune (Düne) to the east. Heligoland is now a holiday resort and enjoys a tax-exempt status, as it is part of the EU but excluded from the EU VAT area and customs union, and consequently, much of the economy is founded on sales of cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and perfumes to tourists who visit the islands, but also tax-free Diesel for ships.
The main island has a good harbour, a former naval base, and is frequented mostly by sailing yachts on the way from the English Channel or Netherlands to the River Elbe up to Hamburg or on the way to the Baltic Sea by using the Kiel Canal (German: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal, NOK).
Heligoland is located 30 nm north off the German coastline and as most of the harbours along the East Frisian and North Frisian coast are located 'behind' the islands, they can only be reached by passing through the Seegaten between the islands. These Gatts should not be entered at night and it is dangerous to enter under fresh- to strong onshore winds and it is even impossible to do so under stormy conditions. Therefore, Heligoland is the best and safest harbour for a stopover. Yachts should pass the Outer Harbour to go into the South-Harbour. Fuel/Diesel you can get in the Binnenhafen.
Also, there is a search and rescue (SAR) base of the DGzRS, the Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger ("German Maritime Search and Rescue Service") on Heligoland.
