If you're staying just a few hours, you can dock along the quay in the center. If it's already full, you can moor your boat at the adjacent marina \"De Rakken.\" This is a large marina with space for three hundred boats, located next to the center of Woudsend. The marina is fully equipped with amenities such as water and electricity. Staying overnight? Then you pay overnight mooring fees. Further out from the center, along the Wellensloot on the east side of Woudsend, you'll find several smaller marinas where you can also dock. Just before the Wellebrug (Welle Bridge), you can refuel. The Wellebrug itself is open every day from April to September, between 09:00 and 20:00.<\/p>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25.jpg\" title=\"Moanne in het Dokkumer Diep\" alt=\"Moanne in het Dokkumer Diep\" srcset=\"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25-666x500.jpg 666w, https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PHOTO-2022-09-19-15-41-25-450x337.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.varenmetsil.nl\/en\/motorboten\" > Our motorboats <\/a>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6735"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7368,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6735\/revisions\/7368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/varenmetsil.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
