Rostock Excursion Boats


Blaue Flotte - Dieter Schütt
Rostocker Personenschifffahrt  - Olaf Schütt

The Schütt fleet started in 1932 with Fritz Schütt. It was later owned jointly by Dieter & Olaf Schütt. However the fleet now appears to have split with three vessels run by the Blaue Flotte of Dieter Schütt and one vessel by Rostocker Personenschifffahrt of Oluf Schütt. The Hansestadt Rostock (1) of 1998 was replaced by Hansestadt Rostock (2) as the flagship in 2010 and renamed Kasper Ohm (2). All four 2012 vessels were built by LUX Werft, Köln / Bonn.

Since the websites are cross-linked I have shown all four 2012 vessels together:-
        Hansestadt Rostock (2) (2010) - Blaue Flotte - 250 passengers
        Kasper Ohm (2) (1998) - Blaue Flotte - 230 passengers - ex-Hansestadt Rostock (1)
        Mecklenburg (2003) - Blaue Flotte - 230 passengers
        Rostocker 7 (2) (2003) - Rostocker Personenschifffahrt - 250 passengers

Fahrgastschifffahrt Käpp'n Brass GmbH - Rainer Möller

Fahrgastschifffahrt Käpp'n Brass GmbH (Rainer Möller) operate harbour trips from Warnemünde with a fleet of three ships, one of which is for sale, one of a number of recent vessels which breaks the tradition of styling new excursion ships like large private yachts.

The first Käpp'n Brass (1) was a very small open sail/motor boat built 1936 and working at Warnemünde in the late-1940s for Ewald Malcherzyk. She was acquired by Rainer Möller in 1982. His next Käpp'n Brass (2) was a larger motor boat, the typical Hamburg barkasse Senior (ex-Martina). She was acquired in 1990. Möller next acquired the Nordfriesland from Günther Schröder in 1991, joined in the same year by a Typ-III Fahrgastschiff Warnow (3). The Typ III class vessels were built in large numbers during the communist East German period. Other Typ III examples at Rostock-Warnemünde include the Kasper Ohm (1).


The Möller fleet when I visited Rostock in 2007 consisted of three vessels:-
        Käpp'n Brass (5) (2006) - 284 passengers
        Min Herzing (2) (2007) - 285 passengers
        Ostseebad Warnemünde (2001) - 352 passengers (for sale in 2012)

Käpp'n Brass (5)
(Fahrgastschifffahrt Käpp'n Brass: 2006-  )

Käpp'n Brass (5) was built for Rainer Möller in 2006. She is modern vessel with pseudo-traditional appearance.

Baltic Schiffahrt und Touristik

Baltic Schiffahrt und Touristik GmbH operate the coastal excursion vessel Baltica

Website: www.msbaltica.de




Baltica
(Baltic Schiffahrt und Touristik GmbH)

Baltica was built as yard number 1136 at Husum shipyard for Wyker Dampfschiffs Föhr Amrum-Reederei (WDR). She was  completed in May 1959 and was delivered to the customer as Rüm Hart.

In the years up to 1982, Rüm Hart was mainly used by the WDR on the route between Dagebüll, Wyk and Amrum and occasionally also used for trips to Helgoland and Sylt. Following the delivery of Ro-ro ships Rüm Hart became primarily a summer season day-trip boat, either from Dagebüll, Föhr and Amrum to Helgoland or from Husum and Tönning to Helgoland.

The ship also ran a few trips to Denmark and Sweden. In 1971/72 the Rüm Hart was chartered to Cassen Eils for their Büsum-Helgoland trips and in the summer of 1976 she ran trips from Cuxhaven to Helgoland chartered to HADAG. In 1981/82, the ship was used from Hörnum (Sylt) to Helgoland.

In May 1982 the WDR sold the ship and replaced it in November 1982 with a younger Rüm Hart . The original Rüm Hart  was renamed Baltica and has since worked in the Baltic. The first owner after the WDR was Rolf Böttcher from Neustadt. After Böttchers bankruptcy on 27 July 1983 Baltica sailed for the Flensburger Förde Schiffahrtsgesellschaft which chartered the ship to cruise from Kappeln. They registered the ship in Kappeln and ran it until 1985 on 'butter trips' between Flensburg and Kollund Kappeln. From 1985 to 1999, the route changed to Flensburg, and Gråsten Kappeln. Ownership changed in 1990 to Ursula Let & Helga Petersen (Flensburger Förde) in Kappeln, 1995 then to Seetouristik Kappeln. In 1997 they sold the Baltica to Heinrich Böttcher from Lübeck, running trips from Travemünde. Since 1999, Baltica has worked for Baltic Schiffahrt und Touristik GmbH in Warnemünde on Baltic Sea cruises from Rostock and Warnemünde. She is still registered in Lübeck.
