Port-Joinville (Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de la Vendée)
Port-Joinville sits on the north coast of Île d'Yeu, a rare island destination off the Vendée coast that you can only reach by sea. The marina offers 600 berths on pontoons, embedded within a working fishing port that keeps things lively year-round with local boats coming and going at all hours. It's accessible at any tide, so you're not clock-watching, and the captaincy (+33 2 51 58 38 11) keeps things well organised for a harbour this busy. Once ashore, the island's car-free lanes, clifftop paths, and village cafés are right there waiting.
