    De droogdokensite biedt een efficiënte en milieuvriendelijke oplossing voor het conserveren en onderhouden van vaartuigen. De faciliteit is goed georganiseerd, met ruime plekken, stevige bokken en veilige toegang. Personeel is deskundig en behulpzaam, wat het aan- en afmeren soepel laat verlopen. Dankzij goede afwatering en toezicht blijft de boot in topconditie. Reserveren gaat eenvoudig via de website, en prijzen zijn marktconform. Ook extra diensten zoals hogedrukreiniging of antifouling zijn beschikbaar. Kortom, een betrouwbare plek voor wie zijn boot veilig en professioneel wil stallen buiten het vaarseizoen. Aanrader voor zowel pleziervaarders als serieuze watersporters.

    Langs de Droogdokkenweg vindt men de Droogdokkensite. Vroeger was dit een gekend stuk haven met een aantal Droogdokken, groot en klein , die zorgden voor de nodige scheepsherstellingen. Nu treft men daar nog wel de historische Droogdokken aan maar heeft men de oude glorie en historische activiteiten ondergebracht in musea en werkhuizen. Heel erg interessant en leerrijk voor de kinderen. Voor de volwassenen betekent een bezoek alhier voornamelijk nostalgie en belangrijke historiek. Er werd inmiddels ook een Droogdokken park aangelegd met mooie brede wandelwegen naast de Schelde.
