Welcome to the website of WSV de Zuiderzee! The association's harbour is located on the Noorder IJ Dijk, right next to the Oranjesluizen which provide access from the Markermeer to the IJ and vice versa.
The board and members of the association warmly welcome passers-by for a pleasant stay in idyllic Schellingwoude, where a trip to Amsterdam is certainly one of the possibilities.
History of the association Watersportsvereniging De Zuiderzee was founded in 1959 by a notary who lived on the Noorder IJdijk. It started as a modest mooring for a few boats. Thanks to the voluntary efforts of members, the harbour has continued to grow over the years. Currently, the association has 85 members and 49 moorings.
On Sunday 27 September 2009, the association celebrated its 50th anniversary. As the association does not have its own clubhouse, the festive anniversary reception took place in Schellingwoude's atmospheric little church. Afterwards, a work of art, created by one of the members, was unveiled on the marina.
Location of the WSV de Zuiderzee marina Coming from the Markermeer, go under the Schellingwouderbrug and then keep starboard. Coming from Amsterdam, go through the Oranjesluizen locks, and after the Oranjesluizen waiting piers, turn portside.

Surroundings of the port Schellingwoude is a village in Landelijk Noord, the sparsely populated rural part of the Amsterdam-Noord district, part of Amsterdam, in the Dutch province of North Holland. The village was an independent municipality until 1857; that year it became part of the municipality of Ransdorp, which merged into the municipality of Amsterdam on 1 January 1921.
The village is located on the Noorder IJdijk between Nieuwendam and Durgerdam. It consists of several dozen houses and a few other buildings, including a church. Some houses are made of wood. Most houses are on the dike along the IJ. A lower street runs parallel to the dike. The waterfront church is also located behind the dike, on a mound. The small building dates from 1866 and was originally used by the Dutch Reformed congregation. Excavations have revealed
