Toulon-la Seyne - Docking
There are several berthing options here in a range of 6 marinas. All of which provide good shelter.
Darse Vielle is inexpensive and in the heart of the city, but can be noisy at weekends and the wash from the ferries can cause problems. Visitor berths are on a fixed concrete pontoon (see photo September 2016 from Chris Thorne), and mooring assistance here is only given during office hours.
Reports in March 2018 are that major works are on-going here and transient berths are not currently available.
There are several nearby harbors which offer a quieter berth, but which are still within reach of the city.
St Mandrier has an all-year-round ferry service to the city.
Navy Surf, in the Rade de Toulon, is a boatyard offering limited berthing while awaiting haul-out. It is reported as a good, inexpensive and secure place to leave the boat for the winter. Port Pin-Rolland is also reported as good, especially if living aboard.
La Seyne now has the lifting bridge permanently open but is restricted to boats under 10m.
The outer harbor has a sandy bottom with excellent holding but is not a safe anchorage in strong east to southeast winds.

March 2018 – Tried to book a visitor berth in the Darse Vielle – nothing available as major work being undertaken. Acuelle/Franchise pontoon is apparently “condemned” and unavailable too.
13 -19 Sept. Darse Vielle. Visitor’s berths are on a fixed jetty on the right side of the entrance. Water and electricity present, good WiFi but only available within a touching distance of the Marina Office. English is spoken.
Office closed after 1800 and from 1600 Saturday to 0800 Monday. If arriving outside office hours you will have no assistance mooring, which is stern to with a variety of laid moorings tailed to the jetty.
There are three different color-coded tails which relate to the different sized line, trial and error to find the best fit. Your mooring lines are attached either to fixed rings or a chain running along the length of the jetty.
