Marina rules and terms

1.1These rules apply to all berth holders, visitors and users of the facilities of Jachthaven Waterkant.

1.2The purpose of these rules is to promote safety, maintain order and ensure a pleasant, clean environment for everyone using the marina.

1.3Every berth holder must comply with these rules and strictly follow any instructions from marina staff.

1.4Everyone at the marina must keep order, peace and cleanliness, observe safety and avoid causing a nuisance.

2.1Moorings are allocated by the harbour management. Berth holders must use their mooring in an orderly manner and follow the instructions of marina staff.

2.2Changing moorings without permission from the harbour management is not allowed.

2.3Berth holders are responsible for mooring their vessel properly and ensuring it does not damage other vessels or marina facilities.

2.4All assigned vessels must permanently meet the following criteria: presentable, well maintained, seaworthy and properly equipped with mooring lines.

2.5Occupying moorings that have not been agreed or assigned is prohibited.

3.1Living on board is prohibited at all times.

3.2As a guideline, staying on board for three months or more per year counts as living on board. This distinguishes recreational use from using the boat as a primary residence. Living on board means being continuously present on the boat for a longer period without regularly moving the vessel, and using the boat as a main or permanent residence. Signs of living on board include daily household activities such as cooking, washing and regularly using household appliances on board.

3.3The harbour management reserves the right to take appropriate action if a boat is lived on, including termination of the mooring agreement.

4.2Damage caused by unauthorised changes will be repaired entirely at the expense of whoever caused it.

4.3Jetties must be kept clear of obstructions and materials at all times.

5.1Users of the marina must observe safety and follow the safety regulations.

5.3Open fires, including barbecues, are not allowed on the jetties or on board vessels in the marina, unless stated otherwise.

5.4Engines may only be started to move the vessel; the speed limit in the marina is 5 km/h.

6.1Maintenance and minor repairs are allowed, provided they cause no nuisance and comply with environmental rules.

6.2Major repairs must be carried out outside the marina.
