Jachthaven Gelre (Watersportvereniging Gelre)

Jachthaven Gelre sits right inside Zutphen's historic city walls, which makes it a genuinely special spot — you're mooring up surrounded by medieval ramparts in the heart of a well-preserved Hanseatic town. The marina holds around 65 boats and is run by sailing club WSV Gelre, with a mix of permanent berths and dedicated visitor spaces. From here you can walk straight into Zutphen's old centre, with its 15th-century library, towers, and plenty of good cafés and restaurants.
