Waterland Marina

Tucked into the historic town of Monnickendam, this marina puts you right in the heart of one of the most charming old Dutch harbour towns in the Waterland region, with its 17th-century smokehouse, weigh house, and traditional wooden boat builders still active nearby. You're sailing on the Gouwzee, a sheltered inland sea with easy access to the broader IJmeer and the wider waters of Noord-Holland. The Waterland nature reserve is essentially on your doorstep, making it a solid base if you want to mix time on the water with cycling or walking through the polder landscapes.
