In Germany, summer weather has increased tourism demand along the Baltic Sea coast. Fleet operators, such as FRS Weiße Flotte in Stralsund, report high demand for passenger ships, including nature-focused excursions like seal tours and trips to Vilm bird island. 

On Lake Constance, emergency services conducted a rescue near Lindau after a sailboat carrying seven people drifted uncontrollably toward Bregenz due to wind and waves. The Wasserwacht Lindau and the Bregenz fire department assisted in towing the vessel to safety.
