In the port, a number of companies are involved in the design, construction and repair of yachts, whilst several renowned Dutch yacht builders use the port for finishing their luxury vessels, and for holding sea trials. A remarkable number of sailing, nautical monuments use Den Helder as their permanent mooring site, whilst large SAIL events are often organised in Den Helder, attended by the world's largest sailing ships.
