Switching berths when confirming a berth, 28 January – 24 February 2026
- There will be fewer berths available for booking during this booking period. However, if you find a suitable berth to switch to, you do not have to pay for your current berth; instead, you can pay for the new berth directly during this booking period.
- You can browse available berths in the system in the ‘Boat place search’ tab. Select a berth to view and press ‘Book’ for the available berth that you want to book. The system will ask you to select the berth that you want to relinquish. You can then proceed to pay for the new berth via the ‘Book and pay’ button.
- You do not need to confirm your berth from the previous season before changing your berth. In other words, you can book a new berth directly in the harbour and pier of your choice, which automatically cancels your old berth from the previous season.
Switching berths during the switching period for current berth customers, 18 March – 31 March 2026
- During this booking period, all unpaid and thereby relinquished berths will become available for booking for current berth customers.
- You can browse available berths in the system in the ‘Boat place search’ tab. Select a berth to view and press ‘Book’ for the available berth that you want to book. The system will ask you to select the berth that you want to relinquish. You can then proceed to pay for the new berth via the ‘Book and pay’ button.

The system will refund the berth fee you have already paid and automatically cancel your old berth from the previous season. Please note that the fee will not be refunded immediately and that it will be credited back to your account
after a delay.
Disconnection of Water and Electricity in Winter Storage Areas
The disconnection of water services will commence during week 44. Water supply will first be shut off at the piers, followed by the winter storage areas. Septic tanks will be decommissioned last. The entire operation is expected to take approximately 2–3 weeks.
At the request of customers, the electricity supply in winter storage areas has been extended by one month. Electricity will be disconnected at both the piers and the winter storage areas towards the end of November. This new procedure will take effect starting in autumn 2025.

- The earliest time that you can take your boat to one of our hoisting order areas is Monday 15 September 2025.
