Shouldn't be a problem in most places. Some city centre marinas like Middelburg, Goes and Dordrecht can be tight but if you explain to the harbourmaster he will probably find you an easy spot. Practise trying to turn your boat in the shortest space and trying to go astern, not everyone can do that.Great info - thanks. Any restrictions on boat size. Is 12-13m and no bow thruster likely to be a problem in the places you mentioned?
Know your beam, some marinas have box berths, two piles and bow on to a pontoon. Daunting at first but you will soon get the hang. Some sort of step or ladder to climb over the bow is handy. I was forced to buy a crate of beer to use as a step.
