Gemeente Haven Urk sits on the IJsselmeer waterfront of Urk, a historic fishing town that was once an island in the Zuiderzee before the draining of the Noordoostpolder connected it to the mainland.

The harbour offers around 400 berths, giving visiting boats a good chance of finding a spot. From the water, lucky arrivals may look out over the northern promenade, lined with historic commercial vessels and fishing boats.

The harbour serves as a practical base for day trips onto the IJsselmeer and surrounding waters. Trailer boats and motorhomes are also accommodated, with dedicated pitches available directly in the harbour area.

Numerous restaurants and shops are within easy reach, and the town centre is close at hand.
