Ad hoc means "in a suitable manner"
That’s why we see our harbours as convivial shelters where all lovers of the sea can recharge their batteries, refuel, repair and winter.
Our aim is to give these lovers, through our marinas, privileged access to the only preserved natural space capable of offering us full freedom.

Sail to unique destinations
We design our harbours as convivial shelters enabling all our passionate yachtsmen to recharge their batteries, refuel, repair and winter in an environment conducive to sharing. Our ambition: to consolidate a network of marinas offering you mobility and privileged access to all of Europe’s most beautiful sailing basins.
From the west of the English Channel to the south of the Bay of Biscay, via the Gironde estuary, our harbours are to be found all along the Atlantic seaboard, offering you a multitude of gateways to the ocean and its treasures. Are you heading for Italy along the Côte d’Azur or Spain along the Côte Vermeille? Our harbours offer you a central position in the western Mediterranean to discover all its natural and cultural delights.
In the Netherlands, our six marinas open the doors to the most beautiful sailing areas in the country. Between the North Sea and inland waterways, our marinas are true tourist destinations entirely dedicated to sailing and water sports. You’ll discover modern infrastructures and a comprehensive range of services: provisioning, fittings, catering and accommodation.
In Sweden, Svinninge Marina is the gateway to the Baltic Sea’s most beautiful sailing areas. Only 40 minutes from the capital, in Åkersberga, Svinninge Marina lies at the entrance to the paradisiacal Stockholm archipelago, with its 30,000 islands, islets and reefs. Between open seas and unspoilt bays, the cruising possibilities are endless.

Meet a European leader
Port Adhoc was born 20 years ago.
Our ambition was to develop accessibility to the sea without over-engineering our coasts, and to offer, through the dry stack marinas we created, areas dedicated to small crafts. Two decades later, we have consolidated the very first marina platform in Europe, the historic birthplace of recreational boating. Its vocation is to contribute to exchanges and mobility around our common heritage, the sea. Our ambition for the next decade is to intensify our investments to encourage the emergence of a new generation of boaters.
"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite."

Discover our maritime tales
Knowing your own boat is moored securely at the dock, always ready to set off for a nice weekend trip with family or friends or for a spontaneous vacation – that is exactly the dream of many boat owners. But in Germany, it often remains wishful thinking: long waiting lists, high fees, and overcrowded marinas make planning a test of patience and ruin the plans of many German sailors and boaters.
More and more owners of motorboats or sailing yachts no longer limit themselves to the waters around their home port. In summer in particular, but also throughout the rest of the year, they often choose to broaden their horizons and venture into new cruising areas. In this article, we present several travel plans of Port Adhoc boaters, within our own port network.
With more than two decades of dedication to Marina Muiderzand, Kim exemplifies leadership in the Dutch marina sector. Recently awarded Flevoland Business Woman of 2025 (manager category), her journey reflects the impact of strong team culture, customer commitment, and innovative thinking in one of the Netherlands’ top marinas.
In just a few weeks, Julien Poublan, a boat owner at Port Médoc Marina, will set off on a very special transatlantic journey: a sailing adventure dedicated to environmental protection. In this article, he kindly shares the details of his inspiring initiative with readers of the Port Adhoc blog.
The rules governing recreational sea fishing in the Gulf of Lion Marine Nature Park have recently been updated. To help understand what’s changed, we spoke with Stéphane Velazco — a passionate angler and long-time berth holder at Port Adhoc Leucate. Stéphane is also the creator of the YouTube channel Ganguise Pêcheur.
Our Galley Recipes series sets sail for northern Brittany with a stopover at Port Adhoc Paimpol. Between fishing ports, crêperies and cider houses, let’s discover a land full of character… and a fish stew straight from the island of Brehat!
