PORT CHANTEREYNE
The marina Port Chantereyne in Cherbourg is located in the largest artificial harbour in Europe making it a very safe place to moor. The marina is a deep water marina and is therefore accessible 24h/24 at all states of tide and weather. Being the closest French marina to the Solent, Port Chantereyne is ideally located in the heart of the English Channel and is a perfect starting point to sail to St Vaast La Hougue and the landing beaches to the East, and the Channel Islands to the West. Cherbourg itself is a typically French destination with its large selection of shops, bars, restaurants, gardens, parks and museums all located very close to the marina. The friendly English speaking marina staff will be delighted to help with the organisation of your stay in Cherbourg. For all members of the Westerly Owners Association, Port Chantereyne will offer a discount on berthing fees on presentation of the 2012 membership card. For more information about Port Chantereyne and Cherbourg, please visit: www.portchantereyne.fr/
