About Nautivo
A family harbour business that grew one berth, one boat and one student at a time.
Our story
Built from a single wooden pontoon.
Marc Vauclair started with two berths and a borrowed RIB in 1987. Today his daughter runs a marina, a sailing school, a rental fleet and twelve crewed yachts, all from the same harbour office.

Guests & berth holders
Kind words.
The route map arrived three weeks before we flew in. By day four we had thrown it away and let the captain choose the coves. Both were right.
Hélène DurasAurelia · August charter
★★★★★We keep our 14 m sloop here year-round. The dock team knows every boat by name and the fuel berth opens before the fishermen do.
Marcus OyelaranAnnual berth holder, Pontoon C
★★★★★Our daughter did Level 1 at eleven and skippered the family to Porquerolles at sixteen. Best money we have ever spent.
