Guide

Approach and anchoring

Direct approach from seaward in the Baie des Anges. Entrance between two jetties with red and green lights, dredged channel to 5 m giving access to the largest yachts. Exposed to east winds that build a short chop in the outer basin. The visitor quay doubles as beach access and is busy on summer afternoons and evenings. Nice airport traffic overhead from the north. VHF 9.

Practical

515 berths including places for yachts up to 45 m. Water, electricity, diesel and petrol at the fuel berth. Berthing runs high for the coast, around 58 euros a night for a 10 m boat, and electricity is charged on top, sometimes billed days after departure. Online booking asks for a good deal of paperwork. Capitainerie open year-round, sanitary blocks, laundry, waste pump-out. Shopping gallery on the marina with chandlery, restaurants and supermarket on site.
