For visiting boats
Gilleleje Havn on the north coast of Zealand is the island's largest fishing harbour, with a fish auction, yards and fishmongers side by side with a marina for 220 resident boats, right by the old town. The harbour is owned by Gilleleje Havnelaug. There are no dedicated guest berths and no reservations – look for a green sign in the marina; in summer parts of the fishing harbour are opened to yachts close to the restaurants. The harbour fee covers toilets, showers and wifi, and there is diesel from a pump, a 19-tonne crane and slipways. Watch for strong current in the entrance in NW or SE gales, and note that entering in an onshore gale can be difficult.
