Recharge in the heart of the Biesbosch from our marina

Our marina is located in the heart of the Biesbosch National Park. This means that from the moment you leave us, you will be surrounded by the unique nature of this area. Our advice: sail for a bit, find a nice place to stop the boat for a while, explore an island, swim a bit or choose to laze relaxed.
Or paddle on a sup through the beautiful creeks and picnic on a beach. This is the place where you can fully recharge!

Sailing through the Biesbosch National Park

De Biesbosch National Park is a 9,000-hectare nature reserve with characteristics that are unique in Europe. You can optimally enjoy this from the water. You may see beavers, roe deer or special (water) birds, while you sail along the willow forests and green banks or through winding creeks. The Biesbosch is a large area with a tidal difference. Special, but that also means that you can have to deal with shallows in some places. The employees of Jachthaven Van Oversteeg tell you exactly what you need to know before you get on the boat. In addition, a map is available in our café showing the many beautiful sailing routes.

SAILING AREA

To discover the beautiful Biesbosch nature reserve from the water, you can use the map with different sailing routes that is available in our café.

THE BIESBOSCH

Because after the Sint Elisabethflood the sea and
river brought a lot of clay and sand particles, the submerged land gradually rose higher and higher. At one point, land became dry at low tide.

MARINA

Our modern marina is hidden in the heart of the Biesbosch. From the moment you sail away from here, you are surrounded by a unique water area.

Campsite in the Biesbosch

After such a wonderful day, in which your senses have feasted on nature and the fresh air, it is nice to ‘come home’ in our marina. The doors of our café are open for you, for a snack and a drink. Imagine not having to go home afterwards, but camping in the Biesbosch in one of our hikers’ cabins…
