Welcome to the port of Kembs

Nautic Club Kembs has a river marina on the Rhône–Rhine Canal (canal de Huningue), linked to the Grand Canal d'Alsace via the Niffer locks. The port offers 53 berths, several of which are reserved for visiting boaters.

Inaugurated in 1986, it welcomes sailors from all over Europe, drawn by the exceptional location at the gateway to Basel, on the border of three countries.

GETTING HERE

Getting to the marina
