Owning a boat means pure freedom – but at the latest when searching for a suitable berth, many boat owners face disappointment: long waiting lists, limited spaces, and costs that rise every year.
Mediterranean boaters – and others too – do you know about madai and tenya fishing techniques? Stéphane, owner of a boat at Port Adhoc Leucate and a keen angler, introduces two practices he particularly enjoys.
If you are preparing to set sail from one of the French ports in the Port Adhoc network, you must by law ensure compliance with regulations. Among your obligations as a leisure boater is the requirement to have on board all the necessary safety equipment to navigate safely.
Sailing with the family is always a little adventure – and sometimes it’s also a logistical feat to find the ideal berth. Between children’s moods, harbour activities and planning provisions, many parents are looking for just one thing: a place where everyone feels comfortable. That’s exactly what Lelystad Haven is.
Winter storage is more than just a parking space for boats – it is a decision for value retention, comfort, and safety. In the Netherlands, where wind, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures are the norm, well-thought-out solutions are needed. What really makes good winter storage – and what you should pay attention to when choosing – you will find out here.
When the days get shorter and temperatures drop, many boat owners face the crucial question: where and how should the boat be stored safely for the winter? Especially in the Netherlands, choosing the right winter storage is essential to protect the boat from moisture, frost, and other weather conditions.
Sailing with a pet – in this case, a dog – is part of everyday life for many enthusiasts. On this subject, several boaters at Jachthaven Bruinisse, in the Netherlands, kindly agreed to share their stories: they shed light on their routines, their habits, and the welcome extended to their animals in our group’s marina.
Finding a berth is not difficult. Finding the right one – that is the real art. Because just as boats differ, so do their owners.
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.
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.
