Since more than 70 years we offer you the highest standard and the best service.

With more than 70 years of experience, we are proud to support our customers with reliability, expertise, and personal service. What began as a chart agency and nautical bookshop has developed into a comprehensive supplier of equipment and services for all nautical requirements. Nautischer Dienst Kapitän Stegmann, located at the Kiel Canal, is a privately owned family business now in its third generation. The company was founded in 1953 by Captain Walter Stegmann, whose family’s seafaring tradition dates back to 1891. Following the passing of Captain Dieter Stegmann, management was taken over by Till Stegmann, continuing the family legacy with dedication and experience. Today, the next generation is already actively involved, with Lukas Stegmann contributing to the company’s ongoing development and future direction. As an ISO 9001 certified company, we stand for quality, expertise, and a strong commitment to our customers.
