Regatta Center Medemblik

Regatta Center Medemblik sits right on the open IJsselmeer, moored practically in the shadow of the medieval Kasteel Radboud — not many marinas can claim a backdrop like that. It's a clean, well-run spot with berths available to rent or buy, and overnight stays run €3 per metre. From here it's a 15–20 minute walk into Medemblik's town centre, where you'll find plenty of good restaurants worth the stroll.
