The BluePages Guide to Almere Netherlands

About Haddock Watersport
In 1987, Philippe van Thiel started a sailing school on a piece of land on 't Weerwater in Almere. At that time, there were virtually no water sports facilities in this young, rapidly growing city, and so he was the first to come up with the idea to start a sailing school, originally under the name “Zeilschool voor de wind” (Sailing School for the Wind).
The first season starts with a few Optimists and Varunas, a number of instructors, and three shipping containers. The instructors stand at the market weekly with a small sailboat and a stack of brochures, and in this way, the first students are attracted. Two shipping containers are used as storage for the equipment, and the third serves as a bar.

Marina Muiderzand, our Almere Poort marina is an excellent base for water sports enthusiasts, thanks to its direct proximity to the IJmeer, Markermeer and IJsselmeer. Located on the outskirts of Almere Duin, and only half an hour’s drive from Amsterdam, Marina Muiderzand offers top-quality facilities. More than just a port, our marina is a true tourist destination, offering beaches, water sports, unusual accommodation and a wide range of restaurants.
Marina Muiderzand is a mixed marina in Almere with 850 berths. The infrastructure has been designed to meet all the needs of sailing and other water sports.
