Port Adhoc a major presence among France’s ports
Marinas all over France
As a maritime and river destination par excellence, France, its rivers and coasts have always been a boater’s dream. With 7 marinas as throughout the country, the Port Adhoc group is one of France’s leading port managers. Thanks to its infrastructures on the English Channel, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Port Adhoc welcomes boaters attracted by all French seaboards. With several ports located at the mouths of major rivers, the group is also able to welcome to its ports and marinas boaters wishing to spend their boating season in France not in the maritime zone, but in the river zone.
A wide range of port solutions
Marina or yacht harbor, dry port, mixed port – both wet and dry… The infrastructures managed and offered to boaters by the Port Adhoc group are incredibly varied. For everyone, it’s an opportunity to find the harbor infrastructure that’s perfectly suited to your project.
Owners of motorboats and sailboats sailing in France will also be lucky enough to find all the services they need in the ports of the Port Adhoc network. In particular, they’ll find professionals to service, maintain and repair their boats, as well as specialist stores.
It is this diversity of port solutions offered by Port Adhoc that is the strength of our entire network today.
Our marinas in Brittany and the Atlantic coast
Would you like to choose a marina in Brittany or on the Atlantic coast for your next boating season in France? The Port Adhoc group will be happy to welcome you to one of its four French marinas located in these regions. Choose from the port of Paimpol, the port of Soubise, the marina of Port Médoc or the port of Bayonne Anglet.
The port of Paimpol
In Paimpol, our marina is also called Port Adhoc Paimpol. It’s a dry port on the English Channel, and one of the main harbors in northern Brittany that enables boaters to store their boats on racks on land. Boats are stored in a secure, supervised area, and can be launched at very short notice: the operation is carried out at the owner’s request, every day of the year.
Near the port of Paimpol, boaters who wish to take advantage of the season to sail in France can discover the island of Bréhat, located just opposite Paimpol, as well as the wonders of the North Brittany coast: the pink granite coast, the archipelago of seven islands, the Emerald Coast, Saint-Malo, Cancale or, further afield, the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel.
Soubise harbour
The port of Soubise welcomes French and foreign boaters who have chosen the Charente-Maritime area as their cruising grounds. Like Port Adhoc Paimpol, it is a dry port, but this time overlooking the Charente River and the French Atlantic coast. It is located just 5 nautical miles from the ocean.
In the port of Soubise, monohulls and multihulls up to 53 feet in length are parked on racks or on cradles, and owners benefit from a large technical support center. It’s the perfect port to winter in, to have your boat refitted or to enjoy a season of sailing in the surrounding area of France. For example, La Rochelle, Ile de Ré, Ile d’Oléron and Royan are all within easy reach.
Port Médoc
In Verdon-sur-Mer, at the mouth of the Gironde, the Port Médoc marina has a capacity of almost 1,000 berths. It welcomes all owners wishing to spend a boating season on the French coast, as well as those wishing to stay longer. Boaters benefit from state-of-the-art facilities and, once again, the presence of numerous nautical professionals on site: in particular, shipyards and stores specializing in marine hardware.
For those wishing to discover the pleasures of yachting in France: the geographical location of Port Médoc makes it easy to enjoy both sailing in the Gironde estuary and maritime discoveries on the Atlantic seaboard!

Port Adhoc Bayonne Anglet
In south-western France, the French marina of Bayonne Anglet is still an alternative for boaters looking for river or sea navigation. Just a stone’s throw from the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay, on the River Adour, the port of Bayonne Anglet enables boat owners to store their vessels just one nautical mile from the coast, always with top-quality facilities. If you’re planning a sailing season in France, the Basque country, Biarritz, Anglet and its coastline are definitely a destination to consider.
Our ports and marinas in the Mediterranean
Are you planning your next sailing season in France not in the Atlantic or the English Channel, but rather in the Mediterranean ? No problem! The Port Adhoc group also offers you a number of dry and afloat ports on the Grande Bleue. Depending on your preferences and your sailing schedule, set a course for Port Barcarès, the port of Leucate or Port Napoléon.
Port Barcarès
Located in the town of the same name, the port of Port Barcarès is a welcoming marina during the French Mediterranean sailing season. Here, boaters can change their program as often as they like: halfway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Etang de Salses-Leucate, the marina allows them to explore various aspects of yachting in France.
With almost 2,000 berths and a wide range of services, Port Barcarès is the port of choice for discovering Mediterranean culture and making the most of the Grande Bleue.

The port of Leucate
Very close to Port Barcarès, the port of Leucate is also known as Port Adhoc Leucate. In this port, boaters wishing to explore French waters are welcome to park their boats in a Mediterranean dry port with a capacity of 300 berths, for the duration of a sailing season or longer. As from Port Barcarès, Leucate’s geographical location is ideal for sailing in the surrounding area, and discovering the whole of the French Mediterranean coast.

Port Napoleon
The last marina of the Port Adhoc group that we recommend for a boating season in France is Port Napoléon. In the town of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, this marina will welcome you again in perfect conditions: with your boat parked dry outside, dry under a hangar, or afloat on a pontoon at port Napoléon, you’ll always be ready to set sail and make the most of French waters.
In the Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône marina, you’ll also benefit from harbor facilities adapted to all the activities to be carried out on your unit, as well as the assistance, if necessary, of specialized professionals.
