Vesthavn

Vesthavnen is part of Thorsminde Havn on the west coast of Jutland, situated by the drainage sluice from Nissum Fjord out towards the North Sea. The harbour was established as an extension of the original fishing harbour and today functions primarily as an active fishing harbour, while also being an appealing stop for recreational sailors seeking a natural, lively harbour setting as an alternative to the large marinas.

Sailors should note that current conditions in the entrance vary depending on whether the sluice to the fjord is open or closed, and that water depth in both the entrance and within the harbour can fluctuate. In strong currents, the sluice may be closed to passage. In the outer harbour and entrance sector, the water depth is around 5 metres, allowing safe entry for vessels up to 45 metres in length.

The harbour has newly established toilet and shower facilities, along with the possibility of provisioning. The harbour also offers waste handling, and there are good slipways for launching boats – both towards the North Sea in Vesthavnen and towards Nissum Fjord at the old harbour.

Moor in Vesthavnen and experience a genuine working fishing harbour with newly built sanitary facilities, close to the waves of the North Sea.
