Gemeentehaven Urk
Visiting by boat
Gemeentehaven Urk puts you right in the heart of one of the Netherlands' most storied old fishing villages, with the historic lighthouse standing watch over the harbor entrance. The sanitary facilities are newly renovated and modern, and a beach with a playground sits right alongside the marina. Reach the harbourmaster on +31 527 689970 or channel 12 on VHF — this is a working harbor with real character, so commercial traffic shares the water.
