Marinas in Drenthe

Drenthe is a province of canals and a few lakes on its edges: the Meppelerdiep at Meppel, the Zuidlaardermeer and the Leekstermeer in the north, and the Drentsche Hoofdvaart to Assen.

Meppel is the junction: here the Meppelerdiep, the Drentsche Hoofdvaart and the Hoogeveense Vaart meet, with the Kop van Overijssel and the Zwarte Water around the corner. The Drentsche Hoofdvaart takes you to Assen in a few days, the Verlengde Hoogeveense Vaart to Hoogeveen and Coevorden, with many bridges and locks and few other boats. The Zuidlaardermeer at Midlaren and the Leekstermeer at Roden are the places to sail, sheltered and shallow.

Meppel and Midlaren have the most harbours, Assen, Coevorden and Roden one each. Drenthe is the province for cruising slowly through a landscape of heath and woods, with bicycles on board and a village every evening, and for the passage between the Kop van Overijssel and Groningen. It is water for motorboats and sloops; for sailing you stay on the two lakes.
