Zuiderhaven

Zuiderhaven is a historic inner harbour situated in the heart of Harlingen, Netherlands. The marina lies along the Zuiderhaven canal, which runs parallel to the Noorderhaven, and is directly accessible from the Wadden Sea via the Harlingen sea locks. The location is characterized by its traditional Dutch waterfront, lined with classic warehouses and residential buildings, offering a distinctive maritime atmosphere.

Zuiderhaven primarily serves as a mooring location for visiting yachts and local vessels. The harbour is within walking distance of Harlingen’s city centre, providing convenient access to shops, restaurants, and essential services. There are no dedicated marina facilities such as a harbour office, fuel station, or sanitary amenities directly on the quay. Mooring is typically alongside the quay, and arrangements are often coordinated through the local harbour authorities. Due to its central location and limited infrastructure, Zuiderhaven is best suited for sailors seeking a traditional harbour experience in a historic Dutch port.
