Coming for a Stopover

Want to make a stopover on Île d'Yeu ?

Located on the northeast coast of Île d'Yeu, Port-Joinville is the main entry point to the island – a lively place with its shops, bars, and restaurants.

 

Ideally located between Belle-Île and La Rochelle, it is an essential stopover for southwest sailors heading towards the Loire estuary.

Its marina, nestled in the heart of the old fishing port, has 658 berths, including 233 reserved for stopovers. The port accommodates boats up to 20 meters long and 3 meters draft, whether sail or motor, mono or multihull. It offers excellent shelter in all weather conditions.
