For visiting boats
The Noorderhaven is the heart of De Leeuwenbrug marina: a canal lined with listed buildings in the middle of historic Harlingen, right by the Wadden Sea. Together with the Zuiderhaven there are about 100 visitor berths. It is a tidal harbour with flood gates that close at NAP +1.10 m, usually from an hour before to an hour after high water, when you cannot get in or out. The Noorderhaven takes up to about 2.20 m draught. Berths have shore power and drinking water, with a toilet block nearby and the harbour office at Noorderhaven 34. An ideal base for the Wadden islands or, via the Van Harinxma canal, the Frisian lakes.
- Guest berths
- No bookings: first come, first served. Tidal harbour: around high water (from NAP +1.10 m) the flood gates are shut, usually 1 h before to 1 h after HW. Pay at the harbour office (Noorderhaven 34) or by QR code; codes for toilets and bins are in the payment e-mail. Toilets closed 1 Nov – 31 Mar.
