Description:
Located on the NW of the island, about 15km west of the capital, St Dennis. Port de la Pointe des Galets is usually referred to simply as “Le Port”.
It is an artificial harbour in the western part of Le Port area. This is an industrial area with little in the way of attractions for a visitor.
Position:
20°56’10″S, 55°16’42″E (harbor entrance)
Clearance
This is the only Port of Entry on Reunion.
See Reunion Island Clearance for full details of clearing in and out here.
If arriving outside marina hours, tie up alongside the fisherman’s wharf south of the entrance (depth is 5.5m). Alternatively proceeds farther south to the marina and tie up alongside the reception pontoon, in front of the Port Captain’s office (the architecture of which was inspired by the Sydney Opera House).
Deep-drafted boats should not proceed beyond the fishing wharf, where the depth is 5.5 m. Contact the marina manager who will advise on the correct procedure.
Yachts that arrive outside working hours usually have to wait until the offices open.
When planning on departing, it’s recommended to clear out 2 days before your departure.

Docking
- Port de Plaisance
The two parts of this marina are managed by the same team. The office is in the old marina. It is the small Sydney Opera House looking building in the northeast corner.
The old marina (Port de Plaisance with 450 berths) is south of the commercial harbour.
In August 2015, a new 80 berth marina opened here (Titan Dock), located on the eastern side of the commercial harbour and just a 5-minute walk from the town centre. This is where visiting yachts are most likely to be allocated a berth. Whilst security is good in the marina with key operated gates and video surveillance, it is still advisable to not be complacent and to secure any loose items of value on deck. Maximum length 16m, maximum draft 3m50. Wifi, water and electricity on the pontoons, washrooms.

It is important to contact the marina BEFORE arrival as you may be turned away if there is no space.
Jerome Belhuerne manages both marinas.
