NV Cruising Guide
Navigation
Navigation is straightforward entering first the protection of the large harbour basin.
The marina of the Royal Netherlands Navy Yacht Club, resides outside of locks right at the main harbour basin in tidal influences but has floating jetties. As you approach, the harbor is on your starboard side.
Be aware of in and outgoing other vessels, also larger military and commercial vessels. In front of the harbour in the Texel Strom there is ferry traffic to Texel leaving from the ferry harbour on the outside. There can be a strong side setting current in the Texel Strom, in front of the harbour, depending on the tide.
Berths
Guests may use boxes at the floating jetties with green signs, then report to the light green KMJC boathouse, located next to the walkway to shore. The marina is well maintained and close to the city center. Moreover, its location outside the locks ensures easy entrances and departures without navigating any additional locks.
Before leaving the harbour site, you should sign out at the KMJC boathouse - otherwise you may be denied entry upon return (Navy grounds).
In 2023, the harbour fee €2.10 for every meter of vessel length daily. This fee encompasses access to sanitary amenities for the entire crew, along with water and WiFi provisions. Additionally, there's a daily tourist tax of €1.38 for each individual. All prices are inclusive of VAT.

There are several supermarkets close by. Further to the south, there are several hardware stores. The shop Buijtendijk, for example, offers a large selection of professional tools and supplies, including a large selection of stainless steel screws and bolts, and a very helpful and friendly staff.

Another helpful address can be the Complete Store in the Het Nieuwe Werk on the southeastern part of Den Helder. While focused on hydraulic equipment, the store offers a large collection of marine piping, hose equipment, and probably a lot more combined, again with super friendly staff.
