La Côte harbours (Coppet – Morges): facilities, fuel and stopovers

Before you come: visitor berths and rules

On the Vaud side, each municipality sets the rules for its harbour: where the visitor berths are, how many nights, what fee. The principle is the same everywhere: moor at a marked visitor berth and report straight away to the harbour master's office or harbour warden. The numbers are in the entries below.

For example, the Lutry harbour regulations (2022): visitor berths marked by red buoys, three consecutive nights at most and fifteen a year, fee per night, no booking, 6 km/h maximum in the harbour. Other municipalities have their own figures: ask the harbour warden when you arrive.

The 16 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.

Refuelling and pump-out

Quayside fuel pumps whose existence is confirmed by an official source:

• Port de Nyon on the map — petrol
• Port de Rolle (port Ouest) on the map — petrol
• Port de la Baie de l'Église on the map — petrol and diesel

A pump may be out of order, seasonal or card-only: call before relying on it. Whole lake: fuel and pump-out on Lake Geneva.

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.

  OROEM waterbird reserve “Pointe de Promenthoux”, sector III: no navigation restrictions; kitesurfing from 1 April to 30 September only.
