Discover the port of Volendam
Volendam harbour, what is there to do? It is perhaps the nicest place in the village, where moreover there is always plenty to discover and experience. So do you come for example for the delicious eel, do you want to go on the water yourself or enjoy the boats that moor and just sail out? It is all possible in Volendam harbour. Moreover, we will be happy to help you put together a nice package or book an activity. This way, you can make it a special day in Volendam and its surroundings, which you can explore from the water, for example.
Enjoy the typical Volendam appearance of the harbour and enjoy its warmth, cosiness and special atmosphere. It all comes together at the ideal location, where you will also find some nice activities you can book. They all have to do with water, which plays an important role in the village's history anyway. We are happy to show you that when you visit us, for instance with a few moments in the harbour to enjoy the unique character you will find there.
100% Volendam
Volendam residents and tourists alike love coming here. And that is not so strange, as the harbour is naturally inseparable from the village. Moreover, Marina Volendam was opened in 2007, so you can count on all kinds of modern facilities. Things are well organised and with more than 500 moorings for sailing and motor boats from 6 to 20 metres long, there is always plenty to see and do.
Both the marina and the more traditional part are great to see. Moreover, you can enjoy a deliciously fresh eel or other fish in the immediate area. Visit the stalls and restaurants, as well as other places where you can sit on the terrace and enjoy the often fine weather. These are the most beautiful moments in the village, in which the port naturally plays an important role.
The harbour is 100% Volendam and yet very accessible at the same time. That means you will find wide jetties, made of sturdy wood that can handle tourism without any problems. Moreover, the boxes have finger jetties and plastic fenders. It makes it a safe environment for ships, yachts and other boats as well as visitors.
