Michael
April 10, 2026, Fishing Boats in Greetsiel Harbor

Today, only around 280 cutters fish in the North & Baltic Seas. In the early 1910s, the first cutters with engines appeared, and the 1960s & 70s were the heyday of shrimp fishermen in the North Sea.

Greetsiel is home to Ostfriesland's largest fleet of shrimp cutters, with around 25 to 31 vessels. The ships shape the picturesque lock harbor, which is accessible independently of the tides via the Leysiel lock. Guests can experience shrimp fishing on cutter trips aboard the cutter "Nordstern" (GRE 18), while the annual cutter parade on August 1st is a highlight. The cutters are a central part of the identity of the small fishing village, which is one of the most famous photo motifs on the German North Sea coast.

⚓️✨ The fishing fleet: Around 25 shrimp boats have their permanent home port here. You can recognize them by their characteristic outriggers (called trawls), on which the nets are hoisted to dry. When the fleet is in port, the masts form an impressive tangle of ropes and nets against the backdrop of the historic warehouses.

⚓️✨ Standing in Greetsiel harbor, you'll be looking at one of the largest and most picturesque fleets of crab cutters on the German North Sea coast. The bright red and green fishing boats, gently rocking in the water, are the vibrant heart of the village and offer an atmosphere that has hardly changed over the centuries.
