WSV Lekkerkerk (Lekkerkerk) Krimpenerwaard - Netherlands Marina in Lekkerkerk, Zuid-Holland

WSV Lekkerkerk is a water sports association located 1 to 2 km east of Lekkerkerk village in the Netherlands. The marina is situated on a river, which means boaters need to account for tides and currents when navigating. The location offers scenic views of and over the river, with convenient access to popular destinations including Dordrecht, Schoonhoven, Rotterdam, and the Biesbosch, all reachable in relatively short time from the port. The association has approximately 65 members, with a dedicated core group actively maintaining a positive community atmosphere. Members are known for being helpful and friendly to each other, creating a welcoming environment for all boat owners. The marina organizes various social gatherings throughout the year in the club boat, including a New Year's reception, barbecue events, pancake parties, and a Christmas meal. An autumn weekend trip is also organized when there is sufficient member participation. The harbor facilities are straightforward and practical, featuring water and electricity connections on the jetty and toilet facilities in the club boat. The port installation is maintained through member self-activity, keeping operations running smoothly. One of the marina's advantages is its competitive pricing structure, with low rates for membership contributions and demurrage fees compared to other ports in the region. WSV Lekkerkerk also operates a dry harbor facility for boat maintenance and winter storage. In autumn, when necessary, boats are lifted ashore using a crane, and in spring these vessels are launched back into the water. This seasonal haul-out service allows members to properly maintain their boats during the off-season. The village of Lekkerkerk offers a reasonable range of shops and eateries, providing convenient amenities for marina members and visitors.
