French term or phrase: Grande/moyenne plaisance
Il s'agit donc d'un port.
Pour "grande plaisance" j'ai trouvé "long distance cruising" et "luxury yatching". lequel serait correct, si l'un des deux sont correct et quel serait la traduction pour moyenne plaisance?

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide

large/medium-sized yachts
Explanation:
I don't think a port would be interested in the uses of the boats but rather their size

perhaps "pleasure craft" instead of "yachts", not that it really matters semantically

agree  Julie Barber: this has "pleasure sailing" for plaisance although I agree that they are talking about the size of the yatch http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~kjt/sailing/eng-fr-gp.html
