Marinas in Groningen

Groningen is sailed on 'diepen' and canals, from the city to the Lauwersmeer and the Dollard, with the Zuidlaardermeer, the Schildmeer and the Oldambtmeer as wider water and the Wadden Sea on the northern edge.

The Reitdiep is the finest route: from the city of Groningen past Winsum and Aduarderzijl to Zoutkamp and the Lauwersmeer, where the lock to the Wadden lies at Lauwersoog. The Van Starkenborgh and Eems canals are the standing-mast route from Friesland to Delfzijl and the Ems, with the city halfway. In the east lie the Oldambtmeer at Blauwestad and Beerta and the canals to Bourtange and Ter Apel, where the Haren-Rütenbrock canal runs to Germany. It is quiet water with many bridges and little wave.

Kropswolde on the Zuidlaardermeer and the city of Groningen have the most harbours; there are small harbours in Zoutkamp, Winsum, Beerta and Blauwestad and the sea harbour of Delfzijl. Groningen is the province for escaping the crowds, for the passage to the Wadden by Lauwersoog or Delfzijl, and for German visitors entering the inland waters from the Ems.
