D'Anckerplaets Marina

Tucked behind the historic NDSM wharf on the north bank of the IJ, D'Anckerplaets is a sheltered marina offering annual berths only — so no short-stay drop-ins here. With a maximum depth of 2.5m, it suits shallow-draft boats, and the location in Amsterdam Noord puts you right in the middle of one of the city's most creative, up-and-coming neighbourhoods. It's got that off-the-beaten-path Amsterdam feel, with the free ferry across the IJ giving you quick access to Central Station and the rest of the city.
