Geneva harbours: visitor berths, fuel, slipways and stopovers

Before you come: visitor berths and rules

In Geneva's harbours, visitor berths are free. They are usually marked by an orange buoy and a sign on the jetty, with a QR code linking to the arrival form. You can stay three consecutive nights at most, only once a month per harbour. They cannot be booked: you moor, then report your arrival straight away using the online form (name, registration, harbour, number of nights). No confirmation is sent: keep a screenshot.

The cantonal harbour master's office can be reached on +41 22 388 55 50 (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9:00–12:30). Geneva law prohibits stationing a boat in or near harbours other than in designated places, mooring at the shipping companies' landing stages, and anchoring in the harbours and in the Rade, downstream of the Pâquis and Jet d'eau jetties.

The 20 harbours, from west to east

Only facilities confirmed by an official page (municipality, harbour master's office, canton, operator) are listed. A facility missing from the entry may still exist: ask the harbour.

Marked anchorages

Anchorages marked and adjusted to the surveyed depth (swissBATHY3D, between 3 and 15 m). No source confirms any shelter from the wind, and the point says nothing about the holding or aquatic plant beds: judge on site.

• Creux-de-Genthod on the map — depth about 7,9 m
  OROEM reserve “Rive droite du Petit-Lac”, sector III here; sectors I and IIb of the same reserve are closed to navigation.
• Pointe à la Bise on the map — depth about 3,1 m
  OROEM reserve, sector III here; the lake part of the Pointe à la Bise reserve is closed to navigation (yellow buoys).
• Rade de Céligny on the map — depth about 3,0 m
• Hermance on the map — depth about 3,3 m
  OROEM reserve “Rive gauche du Petit-Lac”, sector III: no navigation restrictions; no stopping in or near harbours.
