Bassin de chasse de la Criée

Bassin de chasse de la Criée is one of two tidal basins in the marina at Ars-en-Ré on the island of Île de Ré. The port is run by the local municipality and has a total of 550 berths spread across several basins and channels, with the Criée basin itself offering 252 pontoon berths.

Entry is via a lock that opens automatically at mid-tide, with a sill of +2.50 m in the Criée basin. At the visitor pontoon H, maximum draft is 2 metres, and the pontoon lies close to the harbour office with room for around 30 boats on catways. The marina monitors VHF channel 9. Outside the main season the harbour office keeps reduced hours, and the lock is closed periodically during high tidal coefficients.

In the Criée basin you'll find 9 toilets, 9 showers and a disabled-accessible toilet. Wifi is available specifically in this basin, along with shore power and fresh water at the berths. The port also has a 5-tonne crane, a slipway for launching, and a private boatyard offering hull treatment and repair services.
