Shipping routes, ferries and marinas

Shipping routes

Vanguardia is an archipelago. Shipping is therefore an integral part of daily life: From Brest, St. Nazaire, Plymouth, Cork, Santander, and Vigo, you can reach the Atlantic archipelago every day. The ferries of Atlantis Starline and Marine Atlanticq also operate regularly between Neustria, Merania, Bethany, and Greater Vanguardia, stopping at 30 different ports. And very rarely, one might even sink. The Vanguardian shipping company Marine Atlanticq also operates in Canada: link

Ferries

Since Vanguardia forms the western outpost of Europe, it has been the departure point for Atlantic shipping to America since the early 17th century. This is still evident today when the large cruise ships dock in the Rosfleur marina or at the Europa Quay near Prèsenet and disembark their tourists. Because these floating cities now often carry 2,500 guests and around 1,000 crew members, many profitable and globally successful ship outfitters and fitness trainers for overweight Americans operate here.

Marinas

The archipelago's indented coastline offers ample berths for sailing enthusiasts in its 68 official marinas . Motorboats can also moor at the water sports centers , which provide exciting activities for divers, stand-up paddleboarders, jet skiers, and water skiers. Inland from the Gran Dours, small sailing areas have also developed around Len Norel and Lacq Creuset, which are popular with sailors.

And if, despite navigation and lighthouses, a boat crashes into a rock during a stormy journey, the shipyards , especially around the shipbuilding centers of Marechal and Fleurguard, offer their repair services or the purchase of a new dinghy.
