Summary created out of 131 reviews
The marina is praised for its excellent location: directly next to Lemmer's town centre and within walking distance of multiple supermarkets including Aldi, Lidl and Jumbo. Guests appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, and the harbour offers a quiet base with good facilities. Points of criticism focus on increased prices following a change of management, absent or poorly functioning sanitary and water facilities, and the poor condition of some jetties that urgently need maintenance.

The perfect spot to drink coffee and watch the boats. It's my favorite place to chill out every summer.

The marina was renovated following a change in management. But I would have been happy if it had stayed just the way it was. Back then, the prices were still affordable. No restrooms—they suggest walking into town... Water is available only at the front of the main dock. We’ve been visiting this marina for years, but this will probably be the last time, since it’ll soon be completely filled with houseboats. An 11-meter boat with two adults costs a whopping 31.50 euros… Right in the town of Lemmer, it’s 10 euros cheaper…

Hafen wurde durch Betreiberwechsel erneuert. Gern hätte er aber auch so bleiben können wir er gewesen ist. Da waren die Preise noch bezahlbar. Kein Sanitär, es wird angeboten in die Stadt zu laufen ... Wasser nur vorne am Hauptsteiger. Wir sind jahrelang den Hafen angefahren, dieses wird aber wohl das letzte Mal gewesen sein, da auch in Kürze alles voll Hausboote gelegt wird. 11 Meter Boot mit 2 Erwachsene mal Schlappe 31.50 Euro... Direkt in der Stadt Lemmer 10 Euro günstiger...

1 electricity connection per 5 boats. Quite expensive since there are no sanitary facilities. Bit of a shame.

1 stroomaansluiting per 5 boten. Flink aan de prijs aangezien er óók geen sanitaire voorzieningen zijn. Beetje jammer dit.

Following a change of operator, the jetties have been renovated and the harbor will eventually become a houseboat resort. What has remained: The good location close to the city. But: Very expensive, payment only by i-Marina via QR code, which only the harbour master has. No showers, no toilets, no water. Supposedly you can shower somewhere across the road - we assume at a charter base there. Do they know about it...? Too bad, but we have to advise against a visit. Maybe late in the evening if need be, the harbour master probably does his rounds around 7 pm...

Nach einem Betreiberwechsel sind die Steganlagen erneuert worden und der Hafen soll irgendwann zu einem Hausboot-Resort werden. Was geblieben ist: Die gute stadtnahe Lage. Aber: Sehr teuer, Bezahlung nur per i-Marina per QR-Code, den aber nur der Hafenmeister hat. Keine Duschen, keine Toiletten, kein Wasser. Angeblich kann man irgendwo jenseits der Straße duschen - wir vermuten, bei einer Charterbasis dort. Ob die davon wissen…? Schade, aber wir müssen von einem Besuch eher abraten. Vielleicht zur Not spät abends, der Hafenmeister dreht wohl gegen 19 Uhr seine Runde…
