Upon arrival, welcome and piloting
When you approach the Port of Hercules, announce yourself by VHF channel 12 , indicating the name of the boat, its dimensions, the length of stay desired. This will allow the Port staff to be in immediate contact with you and to better satisfy your wishes: A reception quay, located at the foot of the Green Lighthouse is accessible to ships less than 15 meters long.
The boats in the Operation / Piloting section that cross inside the Port will indicate the mooring assigned to you and give you an entry declaration form. A pilot is available to vessels wishing to do so. Pilotage is compulsory at entry for all vessels longer than 30 meters, including those that have left the port for more than a week. The reception and piloting service operates every day at the following times:
• from May 1 to September 30 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• from October 1 to April 30 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Due to its configuration and depth, the Port d'Hercule does not offer fixed moorings. To hold the front of your boat, it will be necessary to anchor at least one anchor. If you enter the port at night, outside of the above hours, dock the dock if the weather permits and if your boat is less than 15 meters long. If positions are available, it is best to moor at the chicane jetty. A mooring station suitable for your vessel will be indicated to you the next morning at 8:00 a.m.
