Noordergat is a marina at Lauwersoog, situated between the Lauwersmeer and the Waddenzee.

It serves as a strategic access point for cruising boats, lying roughly 300–350 metres from the Robbengatsluis lock, which opens the way to the Waddenzee, the Waddeneilanden, and the Noordzee.

From here, sailors can also head inland via the Lauwersmeer, following the staande mastroute along the Reitdiep toward the city of Groningen, or branching south to reach the Friese meren.

The marina's position makes it a natural junction between coastal and inland Dutch waterways, and a well-used staging point for passages to and from the open sea.
