hidden gem nestled in the South of France, the Mediterranean port city of Sète promises that authentic French charm without the tourist crowds of Saint Tropez or Nice. Known at the ‘Little Venice’ of the Languedoc thanks to its maze of canals, IGY Sète Marina is a premier destination for yachts and superyachts. Boasting a total of 10 berths for yachts up to 180 metres, IGY Sète Marina features state-of-the-art crew facilities and also offers a range of services to enhance your yachting experience. The marina can assist with the import and export of yachts and for yachts needing to carry out repairs or maintenance, the marina’s proximity to the commercial port of Sète affords easy access to a range of contractors and skilled labour, while the marina itself has wide quays and is well equipped. Having customs officials on the doorstep makes light work of other benefits too, including the processing of tax relief for non-EU flagged vessels under TPA, which are exempt from paying 20% VAT on maintenance work and equipment.
