Bassin du Bout Blanc

Bassin du Bout Blanc is one of four basins within Port de La Rochelle – Les Minimes, one of the largest marinas on the Atlantic coast with a total of 5,157 berths, including 400 guest berths. Entry is via the marked channel by the Tour Richelieu, with a dredged approach depth of at least 0.8 m, and the harbour office monitors VHF channel 9 around the clock. Guest fees are charged by boat length, starting from €6.40 per day in the low season (category A, up to 4.99 m); a 50% discount applies in winter, and the third night is free when paid in cash. Boaters can use a fee-based slipway near the harbour office. Berths are equipped with electricity (220V) and fresh water, and each breakwater has waste containers and used-oil collection points. The Bout Blanc basin itself has sanitary facilities with toilets and showers, accessible 24/7 with a badge, free for guests. The marina offers free wifi for customers, bike rentals (first 2 hours free), and a fuel berth with diesel and unleaded 98 petrol, open by card 24/7 with staff on site in summer. Cranes and boat lifts are available for launching and hauling out, and a wide range of chandlery and marine service businesses can be found in the neighbouring commercial area.
