Rules on the lake

Masurian Lake District: On Polish inland waters adults may skipper sailing yachts up to 7.5 m hull length and motor boats up to 10 kW without a licence; larger boats need the Polish licence (żeglarz jachtowy, sternik motorowodny) or a recognised certificate of competence. The Guzianka I, Guzianka II and Karwik locks are operated from April to October and closed from November to March. The Kanał Łuczański in Giżycko is closed in 2026 because of the new road bridge; the detour runs via the Kanał Niegociński.
