Mercator Marina Dok 1
Mercator Marina Dok 1 sits tucked behind the locks in Ostend, giving you solid shelter from wind and swell that the outer harbour can't match. It's a five-star rated marina with a notably friendly harbourmaster and clean, well-kept facilities. Ostend itself is a lively Belgian coastal city with beaches, museums, and great seafood within easy reach once you're tied up.
