A floating wine bar moored in Nykøbing harbor

Vinoteque Marittima is not just a bar; it is a ship transformed into a floating lounge, tied up along Sandgade in the heart of Nykøbing Falster’s harbor. Step from the quay onto the gangway and you move from town to vessel in a few paces, swapping cobblestones for creaking decks and soft lighting. Low ceilings, portholes and timber details preserve a distinctly maritime character while still feeling like a contemporary wine bar. The location on the water defines the rhythm of the place. Through the windows you see masts, rippling reflections and the slow movements of the harbor. On calm evenings the bar feels almost like it is drifting, even though it is firmly moored. The combination of Danish coastal light and the intimacy of a ship’s interior gives Vinoteque Marittima a mood that is difficult to recreate on land.

From historic wine merchant to harbor hotspot

Behind Vinoteque Marittima stands Thea & Marius Mortensens Eftf., known locally as one of the region’s oldest and most established wine and tobacco merchants. Their experience shows in the depth of the drinks list, which reaches from classic European wine regions to carefully chosen new-world bottles, alongside fortified wines and a thoughtful selection of spirits. The ship itself has been reimagined as an extension of the shop’s expertise. Rather than a generic bar, this is a place shaped by people who work with wine every day. Staff are usually happy to guide you through the list, suggest pairings, or introduce you to a bottle you might not otherwise have tried. In that sense, Vinoteque Marittima feels like a harbor outpost of a traditional Danish wine house.

Wine, coffee and small plates on the water

The menu balances relaxed café culture with the feel of a classic wine bar. A broad range of wines by the glass and bottle anchors the offer, complemented by local and international beers and cocktails that range from simple highballs to more elaborate signatures. Coffee and tea are taken seriously too, making the ship just as suitable for an afternoon espresso as for a late-evening nightcap. To match the drinks, the kitchen focuses on shareable, unfussy plates: tapas selections, crisp panini, pizzas from the oven and a changing range of sweet treats. Portions are ideal for grazing over conversation rather than formal dining, and it is easy to build a light meal from a few dishes. The setting encourages lingering, whether you are tasting your way through several wines or simply nursing one glass with a single plate.

Atmosphere, layout and seasonal moods

Inside, the bar is divided into cozy nooks with tables arranged along the hull, creating a series of intimate corners that feel sheltered from the world outside. Candlelight and warm tones soften the maritime materials, and the murmur of conversation carries gently along the length of the vessel. On the quay side, large windows open the space to the harbor, letting in long summer evenings or the blue-grey light of a Baltic winter. In warmer months, the outdoor deck is the star. Here you are surrounded by water, with views across the harbor and sky that seem to stretch farther than the town’s compact size would suggest. Early evenings are particularly memorable as the light drops and the reflections deepen. In colder seasons the bar turns inward, becoming a snug retreat where you watch the weather from a comfortable seat, drink in hand.

Events, private gatherings and local life

Beyond its day-to-day role as a bar, Vinoteque Marittima also houses function rooms that can be used for celebrations, tastings and intimate gatherings. These spaces retain the character of the ship while allowing for more private use, from birthdays and anniversaries to business events with a distinctly informal edge. Throughout the year, the ship occasionally hosts themed evenings and special tastings, often drawing on the deep cellar of the parent wine merchant. The result is a venue that feels plugged into the local cultural life of Nykøbing Falster. Whether you drop in for a quiet glass, meet friends on the deck or attend a dedicated wine event, you are very much part of the harbor’s social heartbeat while you are on board.

Planning your visit to this harbor hideaway

Vinoteque Marittima generally opens in the late afternoon and continues into the evening, most reliably from Thursday to Saturday, making it a natural choice for pre-dinner drinks or a lingering night out. The ship’s compact size means seats can fill quickly on fine-weather evenings or when events are planned, so arriving earlier in the evening gives you more choice of where to sit. Typical visits range from a brief stop for a single glass and a view across the water to unhurried evenings spent working through tapas and bottles with friends. The relaxed pacing, harbor setting and carefully curated drinks list make it an appealing stop on any exploration of Nykøbing Falster’s waterfront, whether you are staying nearby or visiting on a wider tour of Lolland-Falster.
