Port De Plaisance De Calais (Calais Marina), Calais

Calais Marina, a key maritime hub in northern France, embraces the city's deep-rooted connection to the sea. Located between the Channel Tunnel and ferry terminals and near the beach, the marina showcases Calais’s dual nature as both a historical and modern port. At its heart lies the Courgain Maritime district, home to a rich maritime heritage and the iconic Calais Lighthouse, offering panoramic views over the port.

The marina is divided into two main basins: the Pleasure Basin (Bassin de Plaisance) and the Paradise Basin (Bassin du Paradis), providing a total of 393 moorings. The Bassin de Plaisance, accessible during high tide via the Henri Henon Bridge, serves as the primary docking area with 245 rings, including 30 for visitors. The Paradise Basin offers 45 buoys for smaller vessels with shallow drafts.

Calais Marina’s location makes it an ideal base for visitors who wish to explore the city or stroll along the scenic seafront. Nearby, one can access amenities like local dining, transportation options, the Balad’In shuttle, and Vel’in cycle hire. The marina’s 262-berth tidal dock, regulated by tidal openings of the bridge, provides added convenience for yachts and smaller boats, making Calais Marina both a practical and picturesque gateway to this historic coastal city.
