The Story

Created in 1964, Your Almanac & cruising guide BLOC MARINE became after 44 annual editions, the most important bible to sail, a precious inventory for harbour information, spectacular, precise and update harbours maps and a reference document for safety at sea.


Bloc Marine contributed to the dynamism and the strong growth of the leisure market since the early 1970's and the strong rise of the nautical activities.


Since 2006 the collection "BLOC COTIER" dedicated to the navigation near shore (less than 6 miles from the coasts) answers needs for mandatory nautical document for "small" leisure activities near coasts. BLOC COTIER & BLOC MARINE covers all needs for leisure navigation.


Two other BLOC MARINE editions (Spain since 2007, and Italy in 2009) will confirm international development and strength on the leisure market.


As advertising media, the Editions Bloc Marine became european leader on the sector through three forms of platforms of communication:


  • The Bloc Marine editions
  • The Coastal Bloc editions
  • The Marinas of exception edition
