FWIW I have just received a text message to say that they have berths available.
Port Haliguen, Quiberon Peninsula

Hello John,
I received the same email: is it a sort of "long term lease" (?) they are offering those berths, instead of renewable yearly contracts?

15 or 20 years.

...
15 to 20 5ear contracts is my understanding. Too long even for a whippersnapper like me.
Text is:
Les travaux d’extension de Port Haliguen, nous permettent de vous proposer une nouvelle formule de contrat (Garantie d’usage) pour des durées de 15 ou 20 ans.
Prenez contact avec la Capitainerie de Port Haliguen Quiberon afin d’obtenir de plus amples informations sur cette nouvelle offre commerciale attractive.

Port Haliguen is a marmite marina. Some seem to love it .
I have visited there a number of times. It was the most expensive to visit in Brittany. Access by road can be a nightmare with hours wasted trying to get on and off the little peninsula. I certainly would not want to have it as a long term home port. The village has a number of good eateries but replenishing supplies meant a long walk or Taxi ride. It was not as cheap as at Le Crouesty or La Trinite for instance where you have bigger and more competitive Hypermarches.
I suspect this is their problem in that most just use it as a transit marina due to its location? Maybe transit traffic has reduced and they now are looking to other income?

It’s our least favourite too.
We love La Trinite and we have friends in Larmour Plage (Lorient) so either of them wins hands down.
Port Haliguen is too cut off and pricy for what offers.

I think it is more a visitors marina, the Company web site says they offer >11000 visiting nights a year.

The port is still under heavy restructuring which began last year, a lot of dredging, building, etc, it might be the reason they are trying to diversify the types of contracts they offer.
Am right now in PH, works have been stopped for summer, their capacity for visiting boats is almost unchanged.
