Is there parking available at the marinas?
Amsterdam
De Hoop Marina in Amsterdam has its own car park where, as a guest of Marina Parcs, you can park your car free of charge during your stay. Unfortunately, there is no free parking at Tineke Bakker Marina. We recommend parking on the street near the marina. This costs €15 per day.

Parking is free at the marina in Almere. Please do register your number plate in advance by email for the barrier (a maximum of one car for the two-person lodges and two cars for the larger accommodation options). Please note: due to quiet hours, you cannot drive into the marina between 23:00 and 07:00; you must park in front of the barrier during this time. You can, however, drive out at any time.

At Naarden marina, you can park completely free of charge in the public car park. You do not need to book a space in advance.
