Jachthaven Nieuwboer

What Jachthaven Nieuwboer does

Jachthaven Nieuwboer is a family-owned marina and camping facility operating as the "Nautisch Centrum" (nautical center) of Spakenburg in the Dutch province of Utrecht, situated on the Eemmeer lake. Founded in 1970 and held under the legal entity Jachthaven/Nautisch Centrum Nieuwboer B.V., the business runs more than 440 boat berths (vessels 4–19 meters), seasonal winter storage (heated indoor shed plus outdoor), a 24-pitch camper field, luxury glamping safari tents, a transit marina for passing boaters, and a fleet of rental craft including sloepen (6- and 10-person), valken (sailing dinghies), supboards, and bicycles. Supporting infrastructure includes a 20-ton / 14-meter hefkar boat lift, a trailer ramp, and Klein Vaarbewijs (small boat license) courses delivered by an on-site instructor.

The offering is bundled around a single waterfront location and is sold direct-to-consumer through the company website and telephone. Annual berth subscriptions and winter storage are recurring subscription-like contracts, while camping/glamping, transit moorings, rentals, and courses are usage-based or short-stay transactions. The facility holds the Blue Flag environmental certification continuously since 2008, has installed rooftop solar panels (March 2025), and has just completed a major expansion and modernization of the camper field (April 2026). A 73-room hotel is reportedly under construction adjacent to the marina with a planned November 2026 opening. The company operates with a lean team of approximately 5 employees and explicitly differentiates on personal, owner-led service ("Geen AI of robots, gewoon Albert" — no AI or robots, just Albert).
