Capitainerie

Bouzigues is the first stop on the Canal du Midi on the Étang de Thau, a small and charming village harbour made up of two separate basins – one for pleasure craft and one for fishing boats. The harbour has a pontoon and a quay of more than 100 metres for visiting boats. There are 96 berths in the marina itself and 71 in the fishing harbour, while 14 berths are reserved for passing pénichettes (canal barges).

The harbour office is typically open daily in the mornings and afternoons during the high season, with shorter hours off-season. Outside opening hours at weekends and public holidays, the town hall can be contacted for assistance.

At the pontoons you'll find water, electricity, waste disposal, pump-out via a floating installation, code-locked toilets and showers, wifi, a laundry, and a hoist for lifting boats. Duty-free fuel is reserved for professional fishermen and oyster farmers.

Just a short walk from the quay you can taste the famous Bouzigues oysters and mussels, raw or prepared in many ways, in the restaurants and tasting spots lining the lagoon. Visit the Étang de Thau museum by the fishing harbour to learn about lagoon life and oyster farming. Tie up in Bouzigues and experience the authentic atmosphere of one of the Étang de Thau's best-known oyster villages.
