Turnhout- 4th August to 10th August 2025

Marina Facilites: 

Berth: 10 Euros
Electricity: 3€ for the day
Water: 1€ for 120 liters - Note none of the tap's work, so every Friday the HavenMeester comes around with a big hose and fills anyone that would like water. He has a counter on the tap so he knows how much you needed and bills accordingly.
Shower: 3€ unlimited time - Shower is located in the restaurant, yes that means you can only use it when it's opened, and you pay the 3€ to the restaurant. Yeah, we passed and showered on the boat.
Washing Machine and Drier: 1€ for 20mins

Great location, supermarket is only a three-minute walk from the marina, center of town is about 1.4 kilometers. Note, the marina is not secure.

Markets: a Farmers market on Wednesdays right near the marina, big market on Saturdays near the Castle finishes 1:00pm, Sundays is a large secondhand market near the Castle finishes 12:30pm and then on Sunday afternoon near the marina secondhand clothes.

Home for the next week

Filling with water. The Harbor Master has a very long hose and a counter, he uses the tap at the back of the restaurant.

View of the Marina from the other side of the canal, Sun Chi is the second boat on the left. and the restaurant is very close, no loud music at night so we slept well but they were doing work on the other side of the restaurant at 7am. 

Between the two buildings is the Carrefour supermarket, an ALDI, toy store, pharmacy, Laundromat, Bakery, Zeeman and Wibra.

Wide view of the marina from the other side on the canal.

Church in the center of town, hard to get a decent photo, a carnival has all it's trucks around setting up for the carnival.
