About the harbour
Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedfrom the harbour's website · 28 September 2026Van Merlenhaven is a marina in Heemstede, run by the watersports club Van Merlenhaven, situated along the 'staande mastroute' that connects the Zeeland waters with the IJsselmeer via the Ringvaart van de Haarlemmermeerpolder. The marina has 69 berths and lies in a quiet, peaceful setting.
The marina is close to the Groenendaalse bos woods, which include a petting zoo, a restaurant and a small playground, and it is just a 10-minute walk to the centre of Heemstede. An indoor swimming pool is only 150-250 metres from the marina.
Nearby you'll find a playground and petting zoo in Groenendaalse bos (750 m), a shopping centre (1000 m), a bus stop (100 m), a weekly market on Wednesdays (700 m), and the Cruquius Museum (1500 m). The large Linnaeushof playground, the biggest in Europe, is reachable by bike or bus (2.6 km).
Berth at Van Merlenhaven and take the short 10-minute walk into Heemstede's cosy town centre, or visit the swimming pool just around the corner.
