The
home port of our fleet is Marina De Zeilhoek, Katwoude. It is situated on the
Gouwzee, an open connection with the Ijsselmeer. The Marina is a modern
one and offers you ample parking near your yacht.. Because the prevailing
winds are southwesterly and the Gouwzee is embraced by dikes, therefore
calm water, it offers you the time and space to get used to your yacht and
it also enables you, even in rough weather, to go to the nice fishing
villages such as Volendam and Marken. A safe return to Katwoude is
therefore always possible. 
The
IJsselmeer ( the former Zuider Sea), a non-tidal water, is a varied and
beautiful holiday area. There is almost always enough wind on this large
lake, but you are never far from the coast, which gives a safe feeling. In
the northern part of the Ysselmeer, there are two possibilities to go
through the locks of the Afsluitdijk on to the Waddensea (tidal waters),where
you will find a serene calm in a magnificent sailing area, often surounded
by seals. You can sail almost endlessly or visit one of the picturesque
Wadden islands.
The
coast of the IJsselmeer offers a great number of opportunities to see,
feel and smell the old Dutch culture and folklore. Beautiful, age-old
fortified towns and picturesque fishing villages are full of monuments,
museums and restaurants. Relaxation and culture for the whole family!
