Jachthaven De Batterij
Visiting by boat
De Batterij is a charming, well-kept marina right in the historic fortified town of Willemstad, and since 2020 it's been managed together with the nearby City Marina, so you get a joined-up experience across both spots. Facilities are solid — think modern, spotless sanitary facilities tucked into an otherwise characterful older setting. You're basically steps from Willemstad's compact town center, a UNESCO-listed 17th-century fortification that's genuinely worth wandering.
