PORT DES MARINAS DE DEAUVILLE
Read moreProtected by a 770 m granite block breakwater, this private port is accessible 16 hours a day. It includes a sluice basin, an afloat basin and a tidal basin. Port-Deauville offers exceptional services: concierge service and a 24-hour human presence at the lock. The show is also on the docks where boats of wealthy people are often moored. The marina, combining holiday and pleasure boating, faces the port of Trouville, so close, so different.
ISLANDS EXPRESS SLEEVE
Read moreA real link between the Channel Islands and the English Channel, Manche Îles Express operates regular services from Granville, Carteret or Diélette to Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney or Sark. Fares are flexible, depending on the length of your stay and the time of year. The boats are modern and fast, and crossings take just a few dozen minutes: that's how quickly you can get to your Channel Island neighbours. Make sure you have all the official documents you need before you leave!
PORT DE BARFLEUR
Read moreIt is a small jewel of the Cotentin Peninsula, which has earned Barfleur regular recognition as one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is also, and especially for some, a very practical anchorage port, in an area that is certainly less turbulent than the Raz-Blanchard, on the other side of the peninsula, but not always easy to understand. Here, we welcome, only at anchor, boats of 15 meters maximum, up to 125 places. A slipway and toilets are available for boaters, and the whole is splendid.
PORT JEHAN ANGO
Read moreIn the heart of the city, the port bears the name of the famous Norman shipowner who distinguished himself in the 16th century by initiating great expeditions to the Americas and Africa, thus enabling him to make his fortune with the import of spices, ivory, and redwood. The port of Dieppe was expanded during this period, and its maritime vocation was never denied. Bombarded by an Anglo-Dutch fleet in 1694, it was destroyed. By order of Louis XIV, Antoine de Ventabren undertook its reconstruction. Vauban and Trudaine enlarged it. Today the port offers 530 berths.
SAINT VAST PORT
Read moreAccessible when the door is open, and therefore depending on the tide, the port of Saint-Vaast has several hundred moorings, including a part reserved for passing yachtsmen, which sail along the superb Cotentin coastline. Ideally located, it is not off-centre, unlike many other ports. As soon as you disembark, you can enjoy the active life of the port directly - and Saint-Vaast's is undeniably so. The well-situated harbour master's office is the nerve centre of the whole.
PORT DE PLAISANCE DU HEREL
Read moreThe second marina in the department after the department of Cherbourg, the Hérel in Granville, has several hundred rings. Ideal place of departure or arrival for pleasure boaters, it is located in the immediate vicinity of the centre of Northern Monaco and its activities. Accessible at high tide, the basin is the result of a water restraint carried out using a table door. The Granvillais port has the equipment to repair and maintain your boats. From here, you can easily reach Saint-Malo at 25 miles or Jersey, only 30 miles away.
PORT DE PLAISANCE
Read morePleasure is one of the many features of the port of Fécamp, managed by the Chamber of Commerce and Local Industry. Labelled Blue Pavilion, it includes no less than 800 berths, forming one of the most important in Normandy. There are 230 berths in the basin, 510 in front of the port, and 75 for visitors, always in front of the port, that are offered. The proximity to the city centre makes it a stopover.
TRANSMANCHE
Read moreVisiting Dieppe is almost like having one foot in England. So if you feel like going to drink Afternoon Tea on the other side, the Transmanche ferry takes you there in only 4 hours. The two ferries of the company connect Dieppe to Newhaven and back two or three times a day. The crossings can be made on foot - that's the most economical way - but also by car and even with a camper or a caravan. On board, everything is provided for the comfort of passengers: lounges with television, a canteen, a bar...
BAC
Read moreTravel in Seine without risk and without leaving your vehicle, it is possible with the Seine ferries! The ferry has long been the only way to pass "across the water", as we say here, before the construction of the three bridges: Brotonne bridge, Pont de Tancarville, and bridge of Normandy. 8 bins are still in service, and do not believe that only the picturesque side survives them: Many users still earn precious time by cutting the loops of the Seine without having to go to the nearest bridge.
PORT-GUILLAUME
Read morePort-Guillaume, built in the 1990s on the site of a former metallurgy factory, has the largest capacity in the Côte Fleurie. It is located at the mouth of the Dives estuary, sheltered by a dune ridge. A nice stopover for boaters between Deauville and Ouistreham. The wet dock offers a capacity of 600 berths on catwalks. A residential area with restaurants, a media library, and a sailing school, Port-Guillaume is adjacent to the fishing port, with its fish auction. A market is held on Monday mornings in season

CAPITAINERIE - PORT EN BESSIN-HUPPAIN
Read moreA nice stopover to visit this little port famous for its Saint-Jacques shell. But not only. A village of fishermen, beautiful, calm and pleasant, nestled between its guards of the cliffs of cliffs that we discover when arriving at the port and which can be seen, from the higher, since the Tour Vauban. Take the time to stroll, make full of food; to take a drink on the terrace and visit the fishermen at the auction, before resuming the sea.
BASSIN SAINT-PIERRE
Read moreIt is one of the five harbour basins in the city. For, despite its location, Caen has always been a port city. As early as the Middle Ages, it had its own port to facilitate economic exchanges as much as possible. It should be noted that at that time, the river Orne was navigable. Now, it is the canal built in 1857 that links the city to the sea. After its west wharf was put forward in the 2000s, the southern part of the sector was reconfigured with the opening of the Rives de l'Orne and, more recently, the redevelopment of the peninsula.

BRITTANY FERRIES

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people, individuals or professionals, use the company's boats from the capital of Cotentin: traffic, after a complicated period due to Brexit and especially the health crisis, is gradually picking up.

It's a great opportunity to meet the fishermen. The port with some 20 boats is strongly anchored and attached to the activity at sea. A wide variety of fish, shellfish and crustaceans are landed throughout the year. Stock up on provisions every day at the stalls of the Allied dock. It's rare to find anything better on the coast.
