RANGEARD VALENTIN

A very sheltered marina for which we were very grateful as, it was a stormy night. However it is quite a long walk into Auxonne.

We’ve sailed into this marina, twice. Both times, we’ve been greeted with an enthusiastic smile and a warm welcome. The harbor master is quite friendly and extremely helpful to all boaters, from novice to expert. The marina is quite well kept, clean, and inviting. We couldn’t ask for a better experience! Merci beaucoup.

We're staying here at present for 2 weeks. A beautiful spot on the River Saône. Excellent facilities. Also within walking distance of the town. Free car parking available nearby. Alian is an outstanding capitaine. Nothing is to much trouble for him. He helps the inexperienced hire boaters so well. He keeps private boaters separate which we greatly appreciate. Highly recommend.

We had a warm welcome from Alain, the capitaine. He keeps the hire boats on the front row and puts us private boats on the row behind (to prevent insurance claims...). He then does a superb job of teaching boat handling and rope skills to all the hire boaters and I learned a few things from him too :-). Beautiful spot to stop for a few days.

It would be a Nice place to stay, if the Captain is replaced. He is extremely disrepectful, micromanaging and rude. When you come to moor he screams at you if you dont let him dock your boat. If you tell him to treat you with respect and not scream at you, he just yells you have to leave the harbor and throws your ropes in your face. Would only recommend if you’re looking for a bad experience.

Nice marina, harbour master John take good care of the marina and surrounding. Everything works.

Exceptional for all boats however especially great for boats over 20m. Capitainerie is open to all and Alain the Capitain is very obliging and helpful. Rates are on the high side however reasonable value. Car parking for boat owners close by.

The port is managed by H2O, and has quite a lively community of liveaboards. We have been based here for most of the last eight years. Despite another review giving the port one star, I must disagree. There is no weed here, and never has been, he may mean Saint-Jean-de-Losne. The port is well managed and clean.
