Wintering Golfe du Fos area, which port?

[Ional]

We plan to winter our 13m yacht, out of the water, near Marseilles, as next year we will return home via the Midi. Can any of you enlighten us as to which boatyard is best....Port St louis, Napoleon or Navy Service? We will only visit once, in spring to antifoul, so dont need much in the way of services. Do we need to reserve a place now? Any thoughts would be welcome! The liftout and launches seem very expensive compared with Spain! Can anyone suggest an alternative in this area?

1) Port Saint Louis does not have hard standing or lift out facilities

2) Navy Services are full and are not accepting any more bookings for this winter.

3) This leaves Port Napoleon. It will cost, for 13mtr, Euro 455.00 p mth or 1935.00 for 6 months.
Lift, pressure wash & launch Euro 637.00.
Cradle hire @ Euro 15.00 p.month
+ Electricity.
TVA Incl.


You need to reserve space now.

Don't know of other yards that would have space. You could try Martigues but usually that is full.

If you do end up in P.Nap look us up.
