Webcams
Within the Port Adhoc network, many of our ports and marinas feature webcams that provide real-time or delayed views of port areas. Visitors, boaters, and professionals use these tools to keep an eye on the facilities and boats, prepare for their arrival, or relive their on-site experiences.

Equipped marinas
Currently, 11 European marinas in our network have one or more high-definition cameras installed within the port areas:
Optimal visibility
In each port, our teams have selected strategic viewing angles. These provide views of port entrances, basins, quays, and/or storage and handling areas.
Live and time-lapse viewing
Each Port Adhoc webcam offers live streaming as well as a “time-lapse” mode, allowing you to review images from the past 24 hours in accelerated playback.
Boaters, why check Port Adhoc webcams?
Port Adhoc maritime webcams can be extremely useful for owners and crews of motorboats and sailboats. Here are several reasons to watch the feeds:
1.
Keep an eye on port areas and boats
For tourists and enthusiasts, port webcams offer immersion in the port environment: wherever they are, landscape lovers can enjoy the sea views and get a preview of the atmosphere.
Cameras also serve as additional tools for our port teams, especially those responsible for monitoring port areas. You too, when not physically at the port, can use the images available on our website to check on your boat remotely.
Is it positioned correctly? Is it properly moored? Are the fenders correctly placed?
Before a cruise or a day trip, webcams also help assess port traffic, activity, and occupancy, optimizing your experience both at the marina and on the water!
2.
Monitor real-time weather
To prepare for a visit – for a walk ashore, departure to sea, a stopover, or returning to the dock – webcams allow you to check local weather conditions.
This allows you to analyse images in real time to find out the local weather conditions and assess the state of the water. We advise you to consider your comfort, but also safety:
Is it the ideal time to walk along the quays, set sail or, on the contrary, dock? Using time-lapse mode, you can get a clear view of how conditions are changing.
3.
Relive your boat movements
Another way to use our network webcams is to relive, in time-lapse, your various entries and exits from our ports.
Observe the comings and goings of your boat, or your maneuvers. Why not review the smooth docking you made today from this perspective?
Who are our port webcams for?
Webcams in Port Adhoc ports cater to different users: casual visitors, boaters, and professional staff.
Webcams for professionals
In case of severe weather or special events, our port webcams help Port Adhoc teams quickly identify where intervention is needed. They actively support optimized port management.
External professionals working in the network also benefit from the webcams: by accessing live port images, they can better plan their work on your boats.
Port Adhoc: digital tools for boaters
Across the Port Adhoc network, our group is committed to innovation. In France, the Netherlands, and Sweden, we prioritize modern port facilities and digital services for boaters.
In addition to webcams, Port Adhoc members have access to increasingly connected modern infrastructures. Some ports feature “smart” water and electricity points designed to optimize the boating experience.
Port webcams: frequently asked questions
How can I tell if the sea is calm via the webcam?
To assess sea conditions using our webcams, pay attention to several indicators:
-
Reflections on the water: A smooth surface reflects sunlight and surrounding structures clearly.
-
Brightness and contrast: Calm seas show subtle variations, while rough waters have sharper contrasts.
-
Foam: White foam on wave crests indicates choppy water; more foam means rougher seas.
-
Wave patterns: Long, regular waves suggest calm conditions, while short, breaking waves indicate turbulence.
-
Movement of floating objects: Boats, buoys, and other floating objects provide clues. Rapid or chaotic movement suggests rough waters.
💡 Always cross-check information with local marine weather reports before navigating.
Can I view ports live on my phone?
Yes, webcams are accessible on any internet-connected device, including smartphones.
Do the webcams work at night?
All Port Adhoc webcams operate 24/7. Night visibility is available, though image quality depends on lighting and weather conditions at the time.
