Marina Guides for Brittany, Normandy & Channel Islands
Digimap Marinas is the go-to spot for boaters! It’s packed with handy info and videos to help you navigate ports and marinas, plus all the official forms you’ll need. Don’t forget to share the news about our new home at https://digimapmarinas.com!
The site contains practical information and videos on entering each port and marina together with the official forms that need to be completed. It also contains vital marina gate information. The site is used by thousands of fellow boaters each year.
We have moved to https://digimapmarinas.com from the original .gg domain in view of the national and international reach of this site.
For the latest EES information for Brittany and Normandy marinas – new rules started in April 2026 – how does that affect each port? See https://digimapmarinas.com/home/latest-french-marina-entry-exit-rules/

The Digimap Marinas site was first set up to help fellow boaters when they first visit a marina.
It was very useful during Covid, and then following Brexit, and now with the new EES rules.
There are separate menu sections for Southern Brittany and Normandy.
Videos have been added for many marinas to help you see what to expect. Charts, as important as they are, can only show so much.
More recently, the site has provided valuable information on the Douane requirements post Brexit, to help boaters navigate the paperwork and rules for entering and leaving France and the Schengen area.
