Seaport Marina IJmuiden, Sportboothafen in IJmuiden in den Niederlanden
Seaport Marina IJmuiden is a boat harbor in Velsen, Netherlands, accommodating more than 650 vessels of different sizes. The modern docks provide water and electrical connections, free wireless internet, clean toilets, washbasins, and shower facilities for visitors and boat owners.
The harbor was built in 1976 to provide a safe mooring place for boat owners. IJmuiden evolved from a small fishing port into a major shipping hub over decades, and this marina continues that maritime tradition.
The name refers to IJmuiden, a historic port town on the North Sea coast. Visitors can observe how local boat owners spend their leisure time and see the marina as a gathering place where the community meets regularly.
Visitors can moor their boats without reservations in advance, as space is always available. Beyond basic harbor facilities, guests find nearby cafes, shops, and a beach pavilion for relaxation and meals.
The marina sits next to the Kennemerduinen, a large nature reserve featuring sand dunes and coastal vegetation. This combination of a modern harbor with undisturbed natural coastal landscape offers a distinctive experience for visitors interested in both nautical and natural settings.
