Story of the Club
In 1965, Wasserskiclub Bremerhaven was officially founded.
Under basic conditions, the first small club hut was built, and waterskiing was mainly a leisure activity—boats still towed skiers with outboard engines. But the sport quickly gained momentum: around 1975 we entered our first competitions and realized that serious training needed a proper towboat. Soon after, we acquired our first ski boat—a Boesch—and that marked the next step toward competitive waterskiing.
​
Over the following decades, competitive waterskiing steadily grew.
Especially in the 1990s and 2000s, we hosted many events—and we continue to do so today, backed by the experience of the last 25 years. Before 2010, industrial development plans and road construction forced us to leave our former site and move to our current location. With strong support from the City of Bremerhaven, its institutions, and committed local companies, we were able to build a new club facility here—including docks and a boathouse.
What makes us special?
We keep our competition setup consistently up to date—slalom course, jump ramp, and everything that comes with it. Today, the club has around 50 members, and alongside training and club life we also run holiday sports programs, guest runs, and plenty of activities on and around the water. In short: Bremerhaven isn’t just a venue—it’s a place where waterskiing is truly lived.
