Jachthaven Bovendiep, owned by the Arkenbout family since 1996, has since grown into one of the larger marinas in the region. Due to its friendly atmosphere and convenient location, many boat owners have found their way to the marina. The marina is 20 minutes from the centre/canals of Amsterdam and 10 min from the orange locks that provide access to the IJsselmeer. So to sail into Amsterdam, you don't need to go through a lock. The entire marina is equipped with security cameras and is locked by an automatic access control system.
The marina has various facilities such as showers and toilets, a café with a waterside terrace and a petting zoo for the youngsters. The marina shop has a wide selection of technical items, navigation equipment, water sports equipment, accessories for electricity, water and gas, and fasteners. There are also various items for furnishing your vessel, which can be customised if required.
They are also official outlets for Riwax maintenance and polishing products, Wilsor synthetic resins, and v Wees oil.
Berths & storage: On a secure site, the marina can accommodate over 200 boats, with box sizes ranging from 5 to 14 metres. A 10-tonne capacity crane is available. You can find fixed berths, seasonal berths, winter storage (covered or open area), day storage and a transient jetty. Electricity is available through paid electricity meters found on the jetties or through a fixed connection for larger boats. They also offer the opportunity to do DIY jobs on your boat, ranging from minor repairs to painting your boat, both inside the premises and covered in the shed.
Maintenance & repair: The marina has an extensive workshop with competent craftsmen who can help you with painting, inboard/outboard engine repairs, technical maintenance, polyester repair, polishing/polishing of polyester boats, underwater ship treatment, transport/towing, and even engine mounting/retrofitting, engine servicing, and welding work on your boat.
Harbour shop: An extensive range of parts and materials for your boat is available in the harbour shop. What is not in stock can be delivered within 2 days after ordering. You will find fenders and mooring ropes, painting supplies and a wide range of engine parts such as filters, spark plugs, impellers and various oils, among others. They also have a large stock of second-hand materials and parts. They are an official outlet for "Riwax" polishes and maintenance products, Wilsor synthetic resins and van Wees oil.
Havencafé: The Havencafé Bovendiep is a cosy café at the marina where you can moor after sailing. Even if you don't have a boat, you are welcome. Here you can enjoy various sandwiches, lunch dishes, dinner and snacks in a casual atmosphere. You can do this both in the café and on the lovely waterside terrace. They also organise various arrangements, including party nights, receptions, theme nights and meetings. Of course, they also organise events on public holidays. If you have other requirements, you can contact them to discuss the possibilities.
