Lergravens Sailing and Fishing Club, Nykøbing Falster

Small, authentic harbour on Guldborgsund where local sailing life, relaxed angling and easy access to Nykøbing Falster’s town centre meet in one quiet quay.

4.1

Tucked just south of the Frederik IX Bridge in Nykøbing Falster, Lergravens Sailing and Fishing Club is a small, welcoming marina that blends local harbour life with easy access to Denmark’s South Sea islands. With its modest basins, moored yachts and fishing boats, and low-key clubhouse, it serves as a peaceful base for coastal cruising, angling on the Guldborgsund and unhurried evenings on the quay within walking distance of the town centre’s shops, cafés and services.

Local tips

  • Bring warm, windproof layers even in summer; the open water and Guldborgsund breezes can feel noticeably cooler than conditions in the town streets.
  • If you plan to fish, ensure you have a valid Danish national fishing licence and any required local permits before casting a line from boat or shore.
  • Keep children close by the quay edge, as harbour walls and pontoons have drops straight into the water with no continuous safety railings.
  • Use the quieter morning or late evening hours for photography; low, soft light across Guldborgsund brings out reflections and subtle colours on the water.
  • If arriving by boat in peak season, try to reach the harbour earlier in the afternoon, when it is usually easier to secure a guest berth.

Getting There

  • Train and walking

    From Nykøbing Falster Station, regular regional trains connect with other towns on Lolland-Falster and onward services from Copenhagen. The station is about 1.5–2 km from the harbour area, which typically takes 20–30 minutes on foot at an easy pace along mostly level urban streets. There is no additional fare beyond your train ticket, and the walk is suitable for most visitors who are comfortable covering a couple of kilometres with light luggage.

  • Local bus and short walk

    Nykøbing Falster is served by local buses that run between the station, central streets and the southern parts of town. A typical single ticket within the local zone costs in the range of 20–30 DKK and the ride usually takes 5–10 minutes, depending on route and traffic. From the closest bus stops to the harbour you should expect a further 10–15 minutes of walking on pavements. Services run more frequently on weekdays than late evenings or Sundays, so always check the latest timetable.

  • Car or campervan

    Arriving by car or campervan is straightforward via the main road network leading into Nykøbing Falster and across the Frederik IX Bridge. Driving times from nearby towns on Lolland-Falster are typically 20–45 minutes, while journeys from Copenhagen usually take around 1.5–2 hours depending on traffic. Fuel prices in Denmark are relatively high, so budget accordingly, and be aware that parking near the harbour may be limited for large vehicles in peak summer, with some areas restricted to shorter stays.

  • Visiting by boat

    Sailors can reach Lergravens Sailing and Fishing Club by following the marked channels of Guldborgsund. Approaches are sheltered but require careful attention to navigation marks due to shallow areas outside the fairway. Transit times vary widely depending on your departure harbour, but short hops from other local marinas in the sound might take 1–3 hours under power or sail. Guest berthing typically incurs a nightly harbour fee comparable to other small Danish marinas, often in the region of 120–200 DKK for an average-sized yacht, sometimes including access to showers and electricity.

A cosy little harbour on Guldborgsund

Lergravens Sailing and Fishing Club sits on the eastern shore of Guldborgsund, a narrow sound that separates the islands of Falster and Lolland. South of the Frederik IX Bridge and slightly away from the main marina, this is a smaller, quieter harbour with a distinctly local feel. Simple floating pontoons, a compact clubhouse and neatly lined boats give the place an intimate, almost village‑like character. This is not a grand yacht harbour but a modest sailors’ nook, where masts gently chime in the wind and the water laps softly against wooden piles. The sound is sheltered, so even breezier days feel manageable along the quayside. On clear evenings, the sunset washes the low skyline of Nykøbing Falster in soft colour while navigation lights begin to glow out on the water.

Life between sailboats and fishing gear

True to its name, the club brings together both recreational sailors and sea anglers. Berths are typically occupied by small cruising yachts, motorboats and local fishing craft, many rigged for trips along the coast or out into the broader waters of the southern Baltic. You may spot rods, tackle boxes and crab pots stacked by the sheds, hinting at early-morning departures. On a busy summer weekend, there can be a gentle hum of activity: someone rinsing off a deck, another boat preparing to cast off, families unloading coolers for a few days afloat. Yet the overall mood remains unhurried. Visitors arriving by boat usually find basic shore power and water, and the low quay edge makes stepping on and off vessels straightforward for most people.

Gateway to the South Sea islands

Although compact, Lergravens harbour is well placed for exploring the wider sailing grounds of southern Denmark. From here, routes fan out along Guldborgsund towards open water, with the small islands and sandy coasts of the so‑called Danish South Sea within realistic cruising distance for even modest boats. Those staying aboard overnight often treat the club as a convenient staging post between other harbours in the region. Back on land, the location within Nykøbing Falster means you are never far from urban comforts. The town centre, with its pedestrian streets, supermarkets and casual eateries, lies within walking reach, making it easy to combine a practical provisioning stop with a short exploration of local shops or a relaxed meal before returning to the quiet of the harbour.

Facilities, comfort and practical details

Facilities are straightforward rather than elaborate. Expect essential amenities such as restrooms, showers and a simple clubhouse space for members and visiting sailors, alongside a few outdoor seating spots where people linger over coffee or an evening drink when the weather is kind. Waste disposal is normally available near the quay, helping to keep both harbour and sound clean. Mobile reception in this part of Nykøbing Falster is generally good, making it easy to check forecasts, tidal information and harbour weather apps. The harbour basin is relatively small and well protected, which contributes to calmer water but also means that manoeuvring space can feel tight for larger craft. Depths are suitable for typical leisure boats, yet deep‑draught yachts should always confirm local soundings before entry.

Atmosphere through the seasons

In high summer the club feels quietly lively: more masts in the basin, children moving between boats, and long twilights stretching social gatherings on deck late into the evening. Spring and autumn see a shift toward keen anglers and sailors chasing the shoulder‑season light, while winter can bring a hushed, almost contemplative air as many boats rest ashore. Weather plays a visible role in the experience. Bright, calm days invite slow strolls along the quay and time spent watching the play of reflections on the water. Windier spells send small ripples across Guldborgsund and make the rigging sing, but the harbour’s sheltered position keeps things comfortable on land. Even in cooler months, the combination of flat landscapes, big skies and working‑harbour details offers a quietly engaging waterside scene.

Who will appreciate this harbour

Lergravens Sailing and Fishing Club is best suited to travellers who enjoy modest, authentic maritime settings rather than polished resort marinas. Cruising sailors, motorboaters and campervan owners seeking a low‑key overnight stop near the water will find it practical and welcoming. It also appeals to anyone interested in the everyday culture of Danish small‑boat life, where sailing and fishing sit side by side. Children can enjoy watching boats come and go, though direct supervision is important along the unfenced quays. Couples may appreciate the peaceful setting as a change of pace from busier holiday areas, while solo travellers can find a safe, straightforward base close to town. For many, the charm lies precisely in its scale: a small harbour with a big sense of local identity on the shores of Guldborgsund.
