The connections from Dagebüll
With crossing time, frequency and booking.
Ferries from Dagebüll
Dagebüll is the main feeder port of the North Frisian Wadden Sea and the only port in the region where ferries cast off in winter too.
To Föhr: the busiest connection
Fifty minutes to Wyk, up to twelve times a day in high season, year-round with the Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei. In the summer half-year Adler-Schiffe sails the same route with the MS Adler Rüm Hart in about 25 minutes, twice a day.
To Amrum
The W.D.R. continues via Wyk on Föhr to Wittdün - about two hours, up to six times a day, year-round. Adler-Schiffe sails direct in 70 minutes during the summer half-year, once a day.
In the summer half-year: Hörnum and Heligoland
From late March to early November, Adler-Schiffe sells through-tickets from Dagebüll to Hörnum on Sylt (about two and a half hours) and to Heligoland (about three hours). Both journeys involve a change of vessel - in the schedule data neither carries a single through vessel.
The timetable through the winter
If you want to reach the Wadden Sea in the winter half-year, there is barely a way around Dagebüll: it is the only port whose connections still appear in the timetable then. The entire Adler-Schiffe island-to-island line pauses from early November until late March.
