Ad hoc means "in a suitable manner"

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.

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?

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."
