Jachthaven 't Balkengat (Krimpen aan de Lek) Krimpenerwaard - Netherlands Marina in Krimpen aan de Lek, Zuid-Holland

Marina 't Balkengat in Krimpen aan de Lek provides fully equipped berths for boats up to 15 meters along the river Lek. Located between kilometer markers 988 and 989 on the right bank, the marina is positioned as the first harbor above the Kinderdijk-Krimpen car ferry on the Lek. The harbor entrance appears narrow but is easy to navigate. When ebb or flow currents are present, boats should enter against the current to prevent unwanted stern movement. The marina operates seasonally from April to October. Marina 't Balkengat offers comprehensive facilities for a comfortable stay, with hospitality, conviviality and convenience as core values. The surrounding water-rich environment provides access to notable attractions including the world-famous windmills of Kinderdijk, the Biesbosch nature area, the port city of Rotterdam, and the Krimpenerwaard region, each with unique water-based origins. The harbor master extends a cordial welcome to passing boaters, inviting them to experience the marina and explore this distinctive combination of natural and cultural heritage sites accessible from the Lek river location.
