This busy commercial port and ferry terminal has more visiting yachts than any other in Europe. It is well-marked and can be entered day or night and at any state of the tide. The outer harbor can be entered from either end of the central breakwater.

Visitors’ berths (pontoons N, M, P, and Q) are in the marina at Port Chantereyne, which is in the SW corner of the Petite Rade (see a photo taken by SY Suwena). It is very rare that there is not a free slip here, but there is a waiting pontoon with water and electricity (although not attached to the shore).

Although large yachts are sometimes permitted to anchor just outside the marina in front of the military port, normally there is no anchoring in the Petite Rade. Grande Rade has several anchorages, but being a large bay, it can be exposed if the wind in the northern sector.

It is reported that where there was once moorings in the north part of the marina, they have been removed.
