In order for us to be able to drive for you on time as usual, we recommend that you book an appointment for the required Corona rapid test in advance, preferably for the day before your departure (www.inseltest.de). You can also obtain a free test from us at the ferry pier in List, carried out by intervivos AG. In order to ensure a smooth procedure, please allow sufficient time, as we unfortunately cannot wait for outstanding test results. On the day of departure, you can park in our parking spaces 45 minutes before your booked departure without any problems. Otherwise, other parking facilities are available in the surrounding area.
The following requirements currently apply to border crossings:
A Corona rapid test with written documentation or a PCR test is required. The test result is sufficient in digital form and does not need to be printed out.

For crossing the border, testing is compulsory from the age of 12. On Sylt, this applies from the age of 6. Please inform yourself about any requirements that may affect your stay on the island.
This was allowed thanks to an exception during the first phase of COVID-19, but is unfortunately no longer possible since 01.10.2020. This decision was taken by the Flag under close consideration of the current situation. To a certain extent we are returning to normal, so that all passengers have to leave the car deck as usual after departure. This has various safety reasons.
However, we can assure you that all important hygiene and safety measures on board have been taken care of to ensure a safe crossing. More information on the mentioned measures can be found here. Of course you also have the possibility to stay on our spacious open decks during the whole crossing.
Here you will find all the latest information on the Tourimus model region of North Friesland incl. Sylt.
Please note:
We will keep you informed of any relaxation and regulations, including those of the Danish authorities. However, please contact the authorities directly for more details or if anything is unclear.
