Zeilvereniging de Onderlinge (Zaandam) Zaanstad - Netherlands Marina in Zaandam, Noord-Holland

Zeilvereniging De Onderlinge Marina is located on De Poel, a branch of the Zaan river in Zaandam, Netherlands. The marina address is Diederik Sonoyweg 11, 1509 BR Zaandam, easily accessible by train via Zaandijk station Zaanse Schans. WiFi connectivity is available throughout the port area, with access codes provided by the harbor master upon request. The harbor master maintains regular office hours between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM daily, during which visiting boaters can pay mooring fees, ask questions about facilities, and obtain electronic access tags for port entry. Visiting vessels can utilize available guest berths, which are listed on a board located next to the port overview map on the reporting pier. The berth overview includes detailed information about box dimensions to help determine if your vessel will fit properly. Boaters should verify berth availability in person before mooring, as another visiting vessel may have already occupied the space. The marina operates a 24-hour access system for departures through wicket doors in the entrance gates. However, entry to the harbor area requires an electronic tag key, available from the harbor master for a refundable deposit. Current rates are published on the marina website. When obtaining the tag, boaters receive an envelope on which they must write their name, address, and bank account number. Before departure, the tag should be deposited in the designated box located under the harbor office. The deposit refund is processed and transferred to the provided bank account within four weeks of tag return. The marina provides comprehensive sanitary facilities including washing areas, showers, and toilets located at the head of the large shed, with the entrance positioned opposite the bridge. A chemical toilet disposal cistern is attached to the large shed on the harbor side for convenient waste disposal. The reporting dock features a dedicated waste water pump specifically for sewage and gray water disposal. This pump is not suitable for bilge water or oil products. For proper disposal of waste oil and bilge water, a specialized depot is located at the entrance gate of the large shed. Access to this disposal facility requires assistance from the harbor master, who can open it upon request. Zeilvereniging De Onderlinge Marina combines convenient location with practical facilities for visiting sailors exploring the Zaan region. The marina's proximity to Zaandijk station Zaanse Schans makes it an ideal stopover for boaters who wish to explore the historic Zaanse Schans area and surrounding attractions. The systematic approach to berth allocation ensures fair access to mooring spaces for all visiting vessels. The refundable deposit system for electronic access tags provides security while maintaining convenient 24-hour departure access for guests. All essential services including water disposal, sanitary facilities, and waste management are centrally located for easy access from the berths.
