Franeker Watersport Vereniging

Franeker Watersport Vereniging is a volunteer-run members' yacht club and marina situated on the Van Harinxmakanaal in Franeker, one of the historic Frisian eleven cities.

The marina lies at Frisia 11, directly past the Frisiabrug on the port side when approaching from Harlingen, or on starboard after passing the De Valk and Draaisma boatyards when coming from Leeuwarden.

It offers around 165 permanent berths for members, with visitor spaces also available. Incoming visitors should keep to port and look for berths marked with a green sign. Facilities include water, shore power, a pump-out station, showers, and toilets.

The harbourmaster — a rotating role filled by club members — typically comes around after 19:00 to collect fees.

Franeker's town center is a walkable distance away, with attractions including the renowned Eisinga Planetarium and sites connected to the traditional Frisian sport of kaatsen.
