Fokhaven

Fokhaven is a recreational marina situated on the Schie-Schiekanaal in the Blijdorpse polder district of northern Rotterdam, directly opposite the entrance to Diergaarde Blijdorp.

The basin was dug in 1960 at the initiative of the Rotterdam municipal government to consolidate three existing watersport associations — WSV De Schie, WSV De Kolk, and WSV Piet Heyn — into a single location.

The three clubs merged in 2005 to form Watersportvereniging Blijdorp, which continues to operate the harbor today.

The marina offers around 130 berths and serves as a practical base for cruising the wider waterway network, with routes accessible toward the Rottemeren, Leiden, Katwijk, Delft, Leidschendam, and further afield to the Biesbosch and Brielse Meer via the Delfshavense Schie.
