Willemstad

The fortified town of Willemstad spoils its visitors with a special combination of historical and culinary hospitality with numerous nice restaurants. Particularly interesting in terms of cultural history: the Mauritshuis, the Koepelkerk, the old town hall and the fortifications surrounding the city. And challenging through the rugged landscape, for example around the Hollandsch Diep. The marina provides a perfect base for your cruise.

Tholen

34 km
The town of Tholen has a rich history and is a must for every Zeeland visitor. The town has a protected townscape, and that is not for nothing. Old dikes, windmills, farmhouses and authentic cores appear in Tholen. Peace and space, framed by the Oosterschelde National Park. There is no other way than for water sports enthusiasts to indulge themselves here. From the harbour, we can reach the Oosterschelde in no time via the Bergse Diepsluis or, with a short crossing of the Amsterdam Rhine Canal, the historic town of Bergen op Zoom, or even further across the national border to the centre of Antwerp!

Vlissingen

60 km
Vlissingen, harbour town on the Westerschelde, has the longest sea promenade in the Netherlands, here you can almost touch the passing sea ships. Under the Spanish, new defences were built around the town, the Keizersbolwerk was built between 1548 and 1552, which can still be seen today next to today's Koopmanshaven. Dutch naval hero Michiel de Ruyter keeps an eye here, he worked his way up to become commander-in-chief of the Dutch fleet and won many sea battles. With the beach and sea within easy reach, Vlissingen is a lovely place to take in the fresh sea air.

Cadzand

20 km
Only Cadzand-Bad and Domburg may carry the predicate healing baths. They meet the European quality criteria for Thalassotherapy; a seaside resort is only granted this predicate if the healing effect of seawater, the climate and soil products has been investigated and declared beneficial. How wonderful and healthy it is then not to dock in the new, modern harbour. Let us enjoy this ultimate feeling of salubrious peace, space and relaxation during our stay at the sea.

Veere

32 km
From the Veerse Meer we can see the town with the characteristic silhouette of the Great Church from far away. From the water we enter the old harbour of Veere. Discover the labyrinth of streets and enjoy this living open-air museum. The walk through the fortifications is really worth it. The many terraces at the harbour invite you to enjoy a magnificent view over the Veerse Meer or the harbour.

Zierikzee

30 km
At the mouth of the Oosterschelde, it is a landmark for many: the blunt tower of Zierikzee. The long supply canal has a large floodgate at the end, which still protects the city from floods and storms. Zierikzee is a lively town, and the passer-by harbour is within shooting distance of many terraces, shops and restaurants. Of course, you can also enjoy the many "salty delicacies" here and many mussels or Oosterschelde lobsters are eaten.

De Heen

39 km
The small, cosy marina in the middle of the reeds of the province of Brabant offers a wonderful base. Walk along paths through the bird paradise of Dintelse Gorzen or view the rich nature from the bird house in this walking area. There is also much to discover in Beneden Sas. Take a guided tour of the historic lock complex or climb the 15-metre staircase that has been built near the bunker to experience the nature reserve from above. Afterwards, you can quench your hunger or thirst in the beautiful farm garden of the Beneden Sas restaurant.
