The club

Situated upstream on the IJssel

W.S.V. Bovenhaven lies on the south side of the beautiful historic town of Kampen. The harbour has a rich history that is inseparable from the town.

The harbour has over 200 members who are active in watersports, as well as many keen anglers. Both large and small boats are moored here. For visiting boats there are spacious jetties with every convenience. The harbour also has a welcoming, comfortably furnished clubhouse.
