COVID19: SUPPLY/REFUGE PORT FOR YACHTS IN TRANSIT
Dutch ports on the Wadden Islands opened on Friday 15 May including Terschelling (port of entry), Texel, Vlieland, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. These ports can be used by yachts in transit however simply for a rest stop as there are no facilities at this time. Restrictions include:
- only a small numbers of visitors are allowed as mooring is only permitted next to the pontoon reducing available berths to approx. 10% of the normal;
- it is obligatory to announce your intended visit a minimum of one day in advance, no reservations possible;
- maximum of 2 persons on board a yacht unless all are family;
- visiting yachts need to be self reliant as no shore facilities are open. Remember, it is not permitted in the Netherlands to pump black water overboard.
