The distance between The Marina of Andijk and Enkhuizen is about 9 miles

At the most easterly point of the region stands Enkhuizen which owes its prosperity to the Zuiderzee in the Golden Century. In the monumental centre there is still much to discover that brings back the memory of the Dutch East India Company period such as the 16th century Drommedaris tower. Adjacent to the historic town centre, the Zuiderzee Museum portrays a picture of life and the past at sea. The town is also home to the basis of the Enkhuizen Almanac.

In Enkhuizen the water-sports enthusiast will find modern marinas with all amenities and can berth his yacht right in the old town. The Enkhuizer Zand recreation area is suitable for the whole family and includes waterside recreations and Sprookjeswonderland (Fairy Wonderland). Enkhuizen is the home port of many traditional Dutch barges, the so called 'Brown Fleet'.
