De Hargervaart

De Hargervaart is a linear ribbon harbour (linthaven) stretching roughly 1,660–1,800 metres along the waterway of the same name, near Schoorl in the municipality of Bergen, North Holland.

Vessels moor in single file with spacing between them, as double mooring is not permitted. The harbour is accessible from the Noord-Hollandskanaal with a maximum air draft of 3. 30 metres and a water depth of 1. 20 metres.

It is considered one of the oldest recreational harbours in the Netherlands, with roots going back well before the Second World War. The site is managed by volunteers of WaterSportVereniging Hargervaart (WSVH), who have operated the visitor harbour since 2010.

It sits beneath the Slaperdijk with open views across the polders, and is close to sea, sandy beach, dunes, and woodland. Walking and cycling routes are plentiful in the surrounding area, and shops and restaurants are within easy reach.
