Thorsminde Havn is a Government harbour situated by the drainage sluice from Nissum Fjord. Earlier on, all vessels had to be sluiced through the small lock connecting the sea and the fiord/The Old Harbour on the east side. The cutters were cunstructed for that. Among other things they should be able to lower the mast.
New opportunities arose for the harbour when the west harbour was made in 1967. The native fleet grew. About 1990 some 75 native cutters and in spring an equal number of vessels from domestic Danish waters came to the West Coast to catch soles.
The turn over/value of the fish landed is approx DKK 45 mill. in 2006, and the native fleet is about 35 cutters.
The harbour is an attractive place for yachtsmen while you have a natural and active harbour, and a good alternative to the large marinas. There are new toilets and bathrooms, and possibility of porvisioning etc.
The harbour has a 24-hours service and can be contacted on 97 49 70 44 or VHF chanal 13 - 16.
As the entrance to the harbour is at the sluice there will often be current in the entrance.
