The Association des Ports de Plaisance Normands brings together 21 Normandy marinas, from Dieppe to Granville, covering almost the entire Normandy coastline, as well as the departmental councils of the Normandy coastline: Manche, Calvados and Seine-Maritime.
Normandy’s ports, which vary in size and configuration, all share the same ambition: to offer boaters high-quality, environmentally-friendly services and to promote our region’s maritime and tourist wealth.
That’s why we’re keen to involve all the players in the yachting industry in our projects and discussions: port teams (technicians and managers), port authorities (departmental councils) and various players (government departments, user associations, etc.).
Our missions: Unite, Develop and Promote
The strategy of the Association des Ports de Plaisance Normands from 2022 to 2027 is based on three main themes: federating, developing and promoting marinas in Normandy. Firstly, by creating a strong network encompassing all the marinas in Normandy, with the ultimate aim of strengthening the economic model of the marinas, boosting the vitality of their territory and supporting them in their efforts to achieve more sustainable management.
Unite
The broad representation of the region and its stakeholders within the APPN fosters the links that the association wishes to create between the structures.
