The high-speed catamaran "Halunder Jet" has been sailing to Heligoland since 2018. It is the most beautiful and easiest way to reach Germany's only high seas island. Reserved seats and friendly staff ensure a relaxed crossing. And on Heligoland we sail directly into the harbor, so there is no need to disembark. This makes a trip from Brunsbüttel to Germany's only high seas island, Heligoland, a stone's throw away.
