Rotterdam and Nieuwe Waterweg marinas

Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, and pleasure craft sail among the sea-going ships: on the Nieuwe Maas in the city, on the Schie and on the Vlaardingervaart.

The Nieuwe Maas and the Nieuwe Waterweg are busy waterways with sea-going ships, push barges and water taxis, with current and tide: you know the rules, listen to the VHF and keep to the side. The Nieuwe Waterweg takes you to Hoek van Holland and the North Sea, the Oude Maas and the Spui to the Haringvliet and the Delta, the Hollandsche IJssel to Gouda and the Schie to Delft. The standing-mast route runs straight through the city here.

In Rotterdam itself you moor in the Veerhaven or the city harbours right in the centre; Schiedam and Vlaardingen have club harbours on quieter water, Krimpen aan den IJssel and Spijkenisse on the edge of the city. This area is for visiting Rotterdam by boat, for passing between the Delta and Holland, and as a home port for anyone who wants to be on salt water within a few hours.

All 10 marinas in the Rotterdam and Nieuwe Waterweg sailing area, grouped by water, with facilities, number of berths and maximum boat sizes. Blue Flag: 0 · visitor berths: 4.
