Jachthaven de Leeuwenbrug (Marina De Leeuwenbrug)

Watersportcentrum De Leeuwenbrug BV owns the Noorderhaven and Zuiderhaven harbors in the center of Harlingen. These harbors have a capacity of approximately 100 passing vessels and 92 permanent berths. Both harbors are tidal; the Noorderhaven is suitable for vessels with a draft of up to 2.20m, while the Zuiderhaven is for larger vessels with deeper drafts. At tides above 1.10m, the high-water gates close. The closure period is approximately one hour before to one hour after high tide, depending on the wind (onshore wind = backwater). When the high-water gates are closed, you cannot enter or leave the harbor.

Check limits: If you exceed 2.20 m draught, Zuiderhaven may be better—but inquire in advance. Winter season caution: Drinking water and sanitising facilities may be reduced.
