Jachthaven Gelre

Jachthaven Gelre is the home marina of Watersportvereniging Gelre, based in the historic Vispoorthaven on the southern edge of Zutphen's city centre, on the Geldersche IJssel. The association has been established here since 1935.

The marina is entered from the IJssel on the port side, with visitors directed to report at the meldsteiger (check-in pontoon) immediately to starboard upon entering the harbour basin. The harbour is relatively small but accommodates visiting boats.

Mariners should be aware of the strong current on the Geldersche IJssel, which runs south to north; approaching at an angle to kill speed against the current is recommended, as a powerful eddy near the entrance can push vessels off course.

The marina lies between kilometre markers 927 and 928, a few hundred metres north of the Spoorhefbrug.
