We’ve had our catamaran at Gruissan for almost a year now. Unfortunately, we’re not on one of the floating docks, and because we’re in Germany for work, that has caused some problems. Everyone at the marina is very nice and helpful. The town and port are lovely and easily walkable. As Sue said, there are several restaurants. A large shopping center is a short car ride away. There are also several wineries in the area.
Feedback from Anna Perrera:
Gruissan is one of the cheapest marinas in this area (near Narbonne). It’s a great port and nice area to cycle and walk. Several reasonable restaurants. Would recommend.
We stayed in Gruissan in September and then over-wintered this year with Bois and Yachting, a small family run outfit that gave us a discount.
We have been very happy. They are able to carry out repairs and have a chandlery.
There are several places here which will keep your boat on land over winter – all roughly the same price.

We wintered our catamaran at Nautiland in 2016 / 2017. While we were here, we did an extensive refit and could not have asked for a better place to do so. The owners of Nautiland — Pierre and Maryvonne Six — were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
They went out of their way to help us in anything we needed. Maryvonne speaks English, German, Spanish, and her native language is French. In addition, the Six’s introduced us to Christophe Perrotton, who is very knowledgeable in boat repairs, rigging, and mechanical needs, etc. Christophe speaks English very well, is reliable, and open to explaining and sharing his knowledge.
For example, he explained to us the process of tuning our rigging and even worked alongside us to help us accomplish certain projects. If you are in Gruissan and in need of a reliable person to work on your boat, I highly recommend Christophe. His email is christopheperroton@orange.fr and his phone number is +33 671509396
Gruissan is a nice village. There is an excellent market in the old village every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday morning. If you’re looking for a good pizza or burger, try Anthony’s – he recently took 1st place in Paris in a burger competition. Baramoules (unsure of the spelling) has good mussels and fries for a good price.
If you don’t have a car, Lidl is around a 10 – 15-minute bike ride. The Gruissan Cave has good prices on wine, and if you ask they will let you taste the wines.
If you need to catch a flight somewhere, you can hop the train in Narbonne to Montpellier or Toulouse. Ryan Air services Toulouse airport. There is a bus that picks up not far from the boatyard, but you can also take a taxi to the Narbonne train station for around 30 Euros.
You may have also heard of Gruissan being referred to as “gruesome” due to the strong winds. Well, you are not misinformed. The winds do get very strong, especially in the winter, but they are normally gone in a few days.
Overall, it was a good place for our needs.
