NV Cruising Guide

Navigation

The harbor is located in the north, opposite Strib, and is easily accessible from both the SW and SE. The entrance is difficult to see due to the new development in the background and is currently unlit in the dark.

Berths

At a water depth of 5 m, it is possible to moor in the inner area at one of the approx. 20 berths on stern piles (dolphin spacing at the north pier 10 m); in the front harbor basin (40 berths), fixed stern lines on both sides allow mooring. The inner area between the dolphins of the pier and the north pier is very narrow and offers little space for maneuvering.

Attention: At the north pier, the tugs arriving and departing in the outer harbour cause "sliding swell", a protective fender is recommended for stern berths.

In easterly and southerly winds, swell can build up in the harbour, especially in the northernmost part, which definitely ruins the sleep and the lines/fenders.

Surroundings

Due to its location, there are several supermarkets nearby, a restaurant right on the harbor, which also serves the floating terrace. Sanitary facilities are located on the east side of the harbor, where various snack and ice cream stands await customers.
