A NEW LEASE OF LIFE…
FOR EUROPE’S LARGEST INLAND MARINA, JACHTHAVEN BIESBOSCH.
O
verlooking the stunning Biesbosch National Park, Jachthaven
Biesbosch has had a new lease of life with the 1,400 berth marina undergoing a major transformation. Since being purchased by the
Yacht Havens Group in 2013, the marina has welcomed a new wave of investments and businesses turning the Dutch marina into a prime sailing destination. Located on the River Amer near
Dordrecht and Rotterdam, boaters sail in the vast expanse of the Biesbosch – Europe’s largest freshwater wetlands. The peaceful National Park covers over
46 FORE & AFT SEPTEMBER 2016
35 square miles of rivers, lakes, waterways and wetlands and can be accessed by sea, road, rail and air. As well as being a popular destination for sailors and family holidays, the Biesbosch is a haven for rare flora and fauna with sea eagles and beavers known to reside in the area. The marina itself is located next
to the idyllic and historical port of Drimmelen with a full range of marine and holiday facilities on- site. Surrounding the marina are all the facilities you would expect to find including a fully-serviced boatyard, boat lifting facilities, undercover storage and yacht chartering, but what really sets it apart is the beach club, watersports
hire, retails shops, bars, restaurants, bike trails and hotels all within stepping distance of the marina. In recent years, Jachthaven
Biesbosch has undergone a wave of major improvements. Yacht Havens have invested in a new bridgehead and additional floating washrooms while boaters have benefited from the introduction of seasonal berthing contracts, bike hire and fuel discounts. Families and younger generations can now also enjoy the new Splashpark & Adventure playground and scenic BBQ area overlooking the marina. Last winter saw the opening of
two new waterfront eateries with panoramic views over the marina and across to the National Park.
