Jachthaven Katwijk (Katwijk aan Zee) Katwijk - Netherlands Marina in Katwijk aan Zee, Zuid-Holland

Jachthaven Katwijk marina is located at the final section of the Oude Rijn river in Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands, offering comprehensive facilities for visiting sailors and boaters. The marina features 130 berths specifically designated for passers-by, making it one of the most accessible marinas in the region with excellent availability throughout the sailing season. The harbor office operates from May 1st to October 1st during the main sailing season, with limited harbor master presence during the off-season from October 1st to May 1st. For inquiries and contact with the harbor master, visitors can reach out via email to havenmeester@jachthavenkatwijk.nl. The marina operates on a first-come, first-served basis without requiring advance reservations. Upon arrival, sailors should report directly to the harbor office where staff will personally assist in finding suitable berths or boxes based on availability and the desired length of stay. The marina infrastructure consists of two distinct mooring areas. The main harbor area features individual boxes ranging from 5.00 to 14.00 meters in length, each equipped with side jetties running the entire length of the box for convenient access. The second mooring area is located on the grass strip along the north side of the Oude Rijn, accommodating larger vessels up to 20 meters in length. This grass strip provides alternative berthing options with a more natural waterside setting. Electrical connections are available throughout the marina via multiple power points on the jetties, activated using the marina's Facilities Card system. The main harbor boxes have electricity access points integrated into the jetty infrastructure. The grass strip area features 36 dedicated power points distributed from the sanitary ark to the harbor office, ensuring adequate electrical supply for all berthed vessels. Water supply facilities include a water tap with a 50-meter long hose in the main harbor area, providing sufficient reach for most berthing positions. Along the grass strip, five water taps are strategically positioned along the entire length, ensuring convenient access to fresh water for all moored boats. Sanitary facilities are available in both mooring areas, with dedicated amenities in the main marina and separate facilities on the grass strip side. These dual sanitary installations ensure convenient access regardless of berthing location. For vessels mooring on the grass strip, the marina strongly recommends using a gangway due to the varying quayside levels, as the bank sometimes slopes downward toward the water. This practical advice helps ensure safe and comfortable boarding and disembarking. The extensive marina capacity with 130 berths for transient visitors means that finding available space is rarely an issue, even during peak sailing season. The personal service approach, with staff working directly with each arriving sailor to identify the most suitable berth, creates a welcoming atmosphere for all visitors. Additional information about all marina facilities, services, and amenities is available on the dedicated Facilities page, providing comprehensive details for planning your visit to Jachthaven Katwijk.
