Base Nautique Municipale

Marina in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône in Bouches-du-Rhône, southern France, located in the Golfe de Fos, east of the lighthouse at Tour Saint-Louis, in a well-protected and organised harbour setting.

As a sailor you should contact the harbour office on VHF channel 9 on arrival, and you can also book your berth in advance online. The marina is well sheltered from wind and swell. A harbour guide gives peak-season price levels of around €29 for a 10 m boat and €45 for a 15 m boat, while a 15 m catamaran costs around €67; drinking water is included in the price, while shore power can be connected on request.

During summer, in July and August, there is night-time surveillance of the marina, and if you stay for more than three months you can receive a discount on your berth. The marina also offers a combined solution with a berth afloat and ashore for half the year each. A sailing club/sailing school is based on site, and there are boatyards and chandlery facilities nearby, making it easy to get help with boat maintenance.

Ashore, it is a short distance to the railway station in Arles and to Marignane airport, as well as to the town's tourist office. The marina is certified "Ports Propres" (Clean Ports) and carries the "Qualité Plaisance" quality label – a good reason to stop by and experience the authentic atmosphere at the mouth of the Rhône.
