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.

Pleasant harbour, although a bit far to the town and grocery stores, but the harbour has bicycles for rent and there is also a free bus that departs from the Kattegatt Centre once an hour. There is also live music entertainment once a week during the summer, and hot dogs and beer are served.

Mycket trevlig liten hamn som har diesel och tömning av septiktank, vatten finns på bryggorna. Ok toa och dusch. Finns även tvättmaskin och tumlare samt gatukök. Dock långt till mataffären men hamnen lånar ut gratis cyklar så man kan ta en trevlig tur in till Brugsen i Råby för att proviantera.

Quiet and pleasant harbour in Mariager Fjord within walking distance from the town. The bridge opens every full hour, and most Danes have the flag 'N' hoisted which means that they request the bridge opening. There is a waiting dock next to the bridge, but you can also dock at Hadsund boat club's pier a little before the bridge. Showers, kitchen, and toilets are in good condition, and there is also a gas grill available to borrow at the club house.

Plus for the grill area with a roof, which also has indoor space with two large gas grills available for use. The grocery store is nearby.
Minus for the lack of facilities to empty the septic tank, some swell intrusion, and the long distance to the swimming area.

Decent toilets and showers, but a long walk if you are moored further out in the harbor. However, Sæby is a nice town to visit and every evening at 9 PM the flag is lowered with a tattoo, and there are quite a few restaurants to choose from within the harbor area. There seems to be only one designated barbecue area out on the pier, but we set up our gas grill on the quay facing the town.

Approaching from the east is easy, but if you are coming from the south, be cautious as there are shallow areas in several places. All the piers are fixed, no low floating docks are available. Mooring with buoys at the stern is available everywhere except around the eastern pier where anchoring is used-note the signs for bow-to-quay mooring! Pleasant and calm harbor, though it often gets full, so arrive early. There is an ICA store in the harbor area and currently two restaurants, one of which offers homemade ice cream. The island also offers beautiful walking areas where both sheep and horses occasionally roam freely.

Good facilities with fresh showers and toilets.
Only the spots inside the jetties can be used; the spots at the city quay next to the restaurant barge and outside the jetties are not recommended due to constant wake from passing boats and incoming waves with northerly, easterly and southeasterly winds. Additionally, both electricity and water are lacking in these spots, yet full price is still charged.

Very nice small harbour, besides the lovely walking trails, there is mini golf and a café next to the harbour. There can occasionally be some wake, both from passing boats and the ferry, but removable shock absorbers on one of the mooring lines were sufficient. This primarily applies to the spots closest to the harbour entrance.

Insegling från öst eller väst, kommer du från väst så håll ut för grunden och gå närmare Vinga än Koholmen.
Fantastisk ö med museum och guidning.
Sen tidigare är bryggan förlängd ända ut till piren och i år har det gjorts nya grillbänkar och bord och bänkar.
Akterförtöjning med fast mooringlina och hamnvärden möter upp och anvisar plats under högsäsong.
Var uppmärksam på att strömmen kan vara mycket stark i sundet så fråga hamnvärden om hur läget är för dagen och det är bättre att köra ut och vända än att komma in fel, då kan det snabbt gå åt skogen.
Det finns toaletter men ingen dusch eller vatten att fylla på båten. Ingen matbutik men en liten kiosk med glass, godis och souvenirer. Ett måste om man passerar Göteborgstrakten.

Lugn hamn med träbåtsmuseum och promenadstigar.
Förtöjning stäv mot kaj med ankare men långsides förtöjning förekommer.
Lite svall från passerande båtar kan förekomma dagtid.
Badplats vid brygga en bit från hamnen.
El betalas med kort på plats vid kranen och hamnavgift via internet.

In the inner western harbor basin, you moor bow-to-quay with a stern buoy, and in the inner northern quay as well as in the outer harbor, it is side-to-quay mooring. At the side-to-quay moorings, the quay is quite high, and there are truck tires hanging, so if you have a smaller boat, it can be a bit difficult to come ashore.
Note the reserved spots for the tour boats.

A pleasant harbor with several restaurants and shops, as well as an ICA grocery store and a hardware and boat supply store nearby.

Alongside mooring at floating dock, good overnight harbor but toilet, water, and electricity are lacking. Occasionally strong currents and wake from passing boats, follow the buoyage and watch out for the shoal outside the dock.

The safest approach is from the north, carefully check the nautical chart and follow the leading lines as there is a shoal to starboard. The anchoring bottom is poor and anchoring is not recommended by the pier, instead, moor alongside, and on a fine day, you should expect several boats outside. The small pier at the innermost part of the harbor is private. You will be well sheltered from most winds, but from the northwest, the swell can be disturbing, especially if you are moored at the far end of the pier. The island has rich birdlife, so be mindful of that when you walk around the island, especially during spring and early summer.

Se upp för grunden alldeles SO om hamninloppet om du kommer västerifrån. Ofta mycket båtar men det går bra att ligga flera långsides på insidan flytbryggan och glöm inte att kika efter lediga platser längst in i hamnen.
Servicehus finns både vid inre och yttre hamnen och matbutiken ligger däremellan.

Lugn mysig liten hamn med få platser, man lägger sig långsides och upp till tre i bredd. Elskåp och vatten finns endast på mitten av bryggan. Fina toaletter med dusch, betalning sker via appen GoMarina.
Butik och kiosk saknas men ta gärna en promenad i det lilla samhället med de smala vägarna och titta på de fina husen.

One of the most well-organized guest harbors on the west coast. Usually, the harbor masters meet you in a rubber dinghy and guide you to a spot, and once at the dock, a harbor master assists with the lines. During the low season, there are 12 Dockspot spots, but during the high season, this increases to around 20 spots, which means fewer free spots.
The harbor office is staffed during the day, and you can also order fresh bread for breakfast, the day before.
