Novus Portus

WSKLuM is a large marina in Nieuwpoort, Belgium, on the North Sea beside the De IJzermonding nature reserve. The marina has about 400 berths for all types of boats and has been awarded 5 Golden Anchors by The Yacht Harbour Association. Thanks to its location the marina is well sheltered from waves and swell, keeping it accessible and open all year round.

Contact the harbour master on VHF channel 72 when entering. Take the first turn to port in the entrance channel and you'll immediately see the visitor pontoon A on the port side, where the harbour master will help with mooring.

All berths have wifi, water and electricity. The fully equipped sanitary facilities include private showers, washing machines, dryers and ironing facilities. Bikes can be rented at reception for 8 euros per day, and in summer a breakfast service is available, delivered on board between 8 and 9 am. The marina has a 25-ton boat crane and a Merlo lift for mast work. The club restaurant De Vierboete offers a terrace with panoramic views over the marina and a bar, and there are two meeting rooms available for hire.

The nearest tram stop is just a 5-minute walk from the marina, and a free ferry (about 3 km away) takes you through a beautiful nature area to the other side of the harbour canal. The town of Nieuwpoort and the famous Bruges are within reach, and there's also a golf course nearby.
