By connecting maritime expertise with technological innovation, Port Vauban supports the development of new solutions for the future of yachting.
As a Smart Marina, Port Vauban aims to bring together technology companies, training organisations and research centres from across the region to encourage innovation within the yachting and maritime sectors.
By creating connections between these different stakeholders, the port seeks to support the development of new technologies, services and solutions that can benefit professionals throughout the industry.

Throughout the year, Port Vauban offers a free digital guidance service to help you reach your berth using the NAUTILIO mobile app, formerly known as GALILEONAUT.
Once your reservation and berth number have been confirmed by the Port Vauban team, simply download NAUTILIO on Android or iOS, enter your berth number and follow the route provided by the app.
Using satellite positioning technology, NAUTILIO calculates a precise route from your current location and displays a safe path to your assigned berth.
