Welcome to Jachthaven De Oude Horn, the home port of Watersports Association "De Oude Horn." This association, founded in 1965, has the noble goal of promoting water sports in Leerdam and its surroundings. The association has around 300 members and donors and accommodates more than 100 berths for its members.

The beautifully located Jachthaven De Oude Horn consists of three parts: a bowl, an old harbour and outside jetties on the river Linge. This marina is a stone's throw from the centre of Leerdam, where shops and supermarkets are within easy reach.

Below you can view an aerial view of our marina, as seen in a short film by RTV Utrecht, illustrating the passers-by marina and its proximity to the drawbridge and the Glasblazerij. Passers-by and camper guests are very welcome at the marina, where they have access to numerous facilities. The harbour masters are on hand to provide you with a safe berth, whether you wish to stay for just one day or longer.

On arrival, please report to the harbour office.

The harbour master will provide you with an access PIN. You can also contact the harbour master for information about the marina and Leerdam itself. You can contact us in advance by telephone or e-mail to enquire about the availability of berths in our marina.

The Linge, on which you can cruise leisurely, offers picturesque views of meadows, reed beds and orchards. In May, the orchards are shrouded in a pink blanket of apple blossom. The river hosts a rich variety of water birds, both common
