A WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR OF HELLEVOETSLUIS
movie carrying his name, which was the blockbuster success in Dutch cinema in the first part of this year.
Within our city walls, we have a number
of interesting museums, such as the National Firefighting Museum and the local history museum the ‘Stadsmuseum’. Also, since last year, Hellevoetsluis has created its ‘Koningskade’, or ‘Royal Quay’. On this quay, at the city end of our port, our main historical maritime attractions have now been moored together. These are ‘De Buffel’ (a Navy war ship) , ‘De Noordhinder’ (a floating light house), and ‘The Bernisse’ (a minesweeper formerly in use by the Dutch Navy). This is all near Jan Blankens Dry Dock, the largest double dock in the world. There are tours available, and we will make sure that all of the options for visits are presented to you. After your visit, you can dine in one of our fine restaurants ’in de Vesting’ near the port.
Please consider spending some extra days
around the event. What about hiking and cycling in a picturesque landscape? Or would you prefer more

Dear participants and visitors. Welcome to Hellevoetsluis! I am very proud that after last year’s inauguration, our city can, once again be the host to 2015’s World Predator Classic. This looks like the beginning of a great tradition which I hope we will keep alive for many, many years. Since last year’s tournament, Hellevoetsluis has
been voted ’Dutch Angling Capital of 2015’. The vote was organized by VISMA, the annual large angling exhibition and fair in Ahoy’ in Rotterdam. Perhaps you have voted, making Hellevoetsluis the clear winner of this contest.
For all participants and visitors, Hellevoetsluis
offers the ideal starting point for a wonderful stay near the Dutch end of the North Sea. You can choose between luxurious furnished holiday homes, well equipped camping sites or stay on your boat in one of our harbours. Hellevoetsluis is part of the isle Voorne Putten: an area with dunes, nature reserves, many historic places and, of course, water!
Hellevoetsluis is not only an interesting fortified
town, but also the former homeport of the Dutch Navy. Celebrated naval heroes connected with this old port are Michiel De Ruyter, Maarten Harpertszoon Tromp and Piet Heyn. All left their unique mark on Dutch history, and Michiel de Ruyter has just been honoured with a mainstream
excitement and action? There are many sports to choose from: kite surfing or water skiing, especially spectacular when done with the backdrop of the largest port of Europe. You can also relax at one of the beaches in Rockanje after your intense battle on the water, or visit our historic neighbour city, Brielle.
We wish the organisation Angling Spirit, and Mr
Ross Honey in particular, and all of the participants of the World Predator Classic a great tournament and a pleasant stay in Hellevoetsluis. You are very, very welcome!
