Ad hoc means "in a suitable manner"
That’s why we see our harbours as convivial shelters where all lovers of the sea can recharge their batteries, refuel, repair and winter.
Our aim is to give these lovers, through our marinas, privileged access to the only preserved natural space capable of offering us full freedom.

We design our harbours as convivial shelters enabling all our passionate yachtsmen to recharge their batteries, refuel, repair and winter in an environment conducive to sharing. Our ambition: to consolidate a network of marinas offering you mobility and privileged access to all of Europe’s most beautiful sailing basins.
From the west of the English Channel to the south of the Bay of Biscay, via the Gironde estuary, our harbours are to be found all along the Atlantic seaboard, offering you a multitude of gateways to the ocean and its treasures. Are you heading for Italy along the Côte d’Azur or Spain along the Côte Vermeille? Our harbours offer you a central position in the western Mediterranean to discover all its natural and cultural delights.
In the Netherlands, our six marinas open the doors to the most beautiful sailing areas in the country. Between the North Sea and inland waterways, our marinas are true tourist destinations entirely dedicated to sailing and water sports. You’ll discover modern infrastructures and a comprehensive range of services: provisioning, fittings, catering and accommodation.
In Sweden, Svinninge Marina is the gateway to the Baltic Sea’s most beautiful sailing areas. Only 40 minutes from the capital, in Åkersberga, Svinninge Marina lies at the entrance to the paradisiacal Stockholm archipelago, with its 30,000 islands, islets and reefs. Between open seas and unspoilt bays, the cruising possibilities are endless.

Meet a European leader
Port Adhoc was born 20 years ago.
Our ambition was to develop accessibility to the sea without over-engineering our coasts, and to offer, through the dry stack marinas we created, areas dedicated to small crafts. Two decades later, we have consolidated the very first marina platform in Europe, the historic birthplace of recreational boating. Its vocation is to contribute to exchanges and mobility around our common heritage, the sea. Our ambition for the next decade is to intensify our investments to encourage the emergence of a new generation of boaters.
"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite."

For a cruise lasting a few days, whether on a motorboat or sailboat, there are essential items to bring aboard. While some gear isn’t strictly necessary, it will make your experience on board more comfortable and even memorable. So, what should you not forget in your cruise suitcase? Here, our team offers some practical advice.
Our Galley Recipes series is steadily making its way up the Atlantic coast, stopping this time in Port Médoc. Nestled between salt marshes, pine forests and oyster-farming traditions, the local gastronomy here offers the perfect balance between land and sea. A delicious stopover, rich in briny and woodland flavours, to enjoy either ashore or on board!
A practical and cost-effective land-based storage solution, dry stack storage is becoming increasingly popular among boat owners. Here’s an overview of the available options, the benefits of storage on rack, and the key questions to consider.
For this third episode of Galley Recipes, we head to Port Adhoc Bayonne-Anglet, in the heart of the Basque Country. This gourmet stopover offers two reimagined traditional recipes: piperade, a culinary emblem of the South-West, and an Ossau-Iraty cheesecake with the perfect sweet-and-savoury balance!
Securing a marina berth in Brittany, particularly in areas like Lorient, Brest, Lannion, or Saint-Malo, can be complex. While the region boasts numerous marinas, availability is often scarce due to high demand. Considering dry stack storage could be an effective alternative.
Our Galley Recipes series stops off in Port Leucate, a gem of the occitan coastline. Nestled between the sea and the vineyards, this destination offers a unique culinary wealth steeped in Catalan and Mediterranean traditions.
