Editorial / Prepare your cruise and stopovers by analyzing marinas

Everyone knows that one of the pleasures of cruising is the stopover. To make it a success, it's best to prepare well. We can help you do just that, with a wealth of information on marinas.

Anticipating your cruise

Each yachtsman prepares his sailing in his own way. While some are content to go where the wind takes them, others will scrutinize the coasts they plan to visit, mile by mile, checking the orientation of bays for anchoring or access to the marina according to the weather, its capacity and the places to visit.

For the latter, our portal offers a wealth of information through our profiles of marinas on the French coast . More than 450 potential ports of call can be discovered in detail, with targeted, detailed information on available services, such as refuelling, nearby shops, the number of berths and visitor pontoons, available sanitary facilities, or the presence of a technical area.

Meeting the boater's immediate needs

If the most far-sighted have planned their cruise in advance, they won't be safe from an oversight, while sailors less inclined towards anticipation will also be able to take advantage of the information sheets when they arrive in the harbor. They'll find contact details for the harbourmaster's office to check availability, information on access conditions, as well as a summary of notices to mariners in the area in the event of a change in buoyage, for example.

And for the more inquisitive, they can even log on to yacht-club.com, see if other owners of the same model boat have a home port there. An opportunity to forge new links between readers!
