First and foremost, Anholt is worth visiting. A fantastic and unique place!
Maritime-wise, we found the depths to be slightly better than indicated by the harbour master in the chart on the website. We had a 2.6m draft, and in that respect, we were anxious. We received great assistance from the harbour master on the way in, who found a spot, guided us, and was of great help during docking when we needed him as an extra 'thruster' to manage the 'turn' into the berth.
As mentioned by several people, there is always room for 'one more,' and boats are moored in multiple rows as shown in drone photos. It is, to say the least, a mildly chaotic affair to get in/out, depending on the time of the season, but we have experienced very good service.
If the numbers we have been given are accurate, it is a sign of how creative they are in accommodating 'everyone.' The harbour is designed for 250 boats, and when we experienced it as chaotic, they had about 500 boats in, and they have had up to 700 boats at maximum.
Given that they accommodate far more boats than they are designed for, getting hold of electricity can sometimes be difficult. It is also not just a matter of using a splitter, as electricity is topped up with a card, meaning you only pay for actual consumption.
The longside berths in the outer harbour basin are possible to use, but our experience is that it is quite restless at those spots even in calm weather.

If you are arriving with a motorboat 32-34 feet or smaller, navigate to the innermost basin where there is good shelter. However, there are some old boats you might end up alongside, which are not so fun to climb over.
Question mark regarding the water, the faucets are marked 'not drinking water', does this depend on the water pipes?
We had a full water tank and did not need to refill.

If your anchor is sticking out at the bow, my advice is to place it on deck when you enter the basin. This makes it much easier when you are directed to the second row with the bow squeezed between the sterns of two boats.
As mentioned by others. The harbor host will meet you and show you a spot after instructing you on how to fend off. The harbor guard also assists with mooring if you need assistance.

The harbor, as previously described, becomes full. The side berths in the outer basin are okay in fine weather, but we experienced that during the night-even with just 5-6 m/s-it became uncomfortably swell. It was not helped by the fact that we had two poorly moored boats outside of us. Demand a line ashore if you get boats on the outside and ensure good fendering. We ended up lying furthest north on the new quay, probably better further in. Our draft prevented it. 2.5m 2m from the quay - then we had 40 cm below the keel.

There are alongside moorings in the outer harbor, within the breakwater. During the high season, the harbor master is out in a RIB and shows the moorings. All boats must be moored or out of the harbor 15 minutes before the ferry docks or departs.
There are anchorage spots outside, but they are exposed to winds from the west.
Shop, diesel, gasoline, and restaurants in the harbor. The town is 3 km from the harbor. Bicycle rentals in the harbor. Fantastic beaches.

Approach and maritime conditions: Anholt harbor is a popular port and it can be difficult to find space here, especially from mid-July onwards. However, there is usually 'room for one more,' and it is not uncommon for boats to be moored between the piers without tying up at the dock during peak season.
Mooring: There are floating docks with buoys, and you can choose whether to stay bow or stern in. It is possible to stay alongside the dock if you are outside the peak season. The harbor can become very crowded.
The Area: Fantastic island, beautiful beaches, good restaurants and bars, and great recreational opportunities both on foot and by bike.
