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."

In Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, Port Napoléon supports the offshore racing activities of the Blue Planet Racing Team. The Port Adhoc team met with Chris Kerl, co-skipper of the Class40 Aquamarin alongside Patrice Pou-Pupp, to present their project to us.
Do you want to lift or launch a boat on the Brittany coast, before or after it has been parked ashore? In this article, we’ll look at the various boat handling options available in Brittany, and introduce you to the new equipment at our port in Paimpol.
This September will see the first edition of The Grand Armada. To mark the occasion, we spoke to Serge, one of the event’s organisers: what’s the program and what are the objectives for these few days of festivities on the Grevelingenmeer, between Jachthaven Bruinisse and Port Zelande?
Almost 36 months after work began on it, the first Cataruga catamaran has just been launched. Named ‘Tortue 147’ by the team behind the project, the boat will travel to Port Napoléon for the final stage of its construction: the rigging. We took the opportunity to meet Jean Sommereux, founder and director of the Cataruga project.
Port Napoléon in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône is a committed marina. The teams at the ashore and afloat marina have put in place a number of sustainable initiatives, with the aim of reducing the ecological impact of the marina and preserving the environment.
Port Napoléon is constantly evolving – through actions, works and investments – to position itself as an environmentally-friendly marina in the Mediterranean.
When you’re an owner, it’s not unusual to have to rig a motorboat or sailboat: handling operations are part of the everyday life of a vessel, and can take place up to several times a year! But do you know what your options are for having a boat lifted or crated in Gironde?
