Convenient breakfast venue

The marina

The larger boats moor alongside the pontoons

Smaller boats can use the finger pontoons

Beware of the lip as you motor up the marina. It is on your port side as you come in

Depth of water over the sill shows on both sides - note red lights

The marina gate from the outside - not enough water!

Holding area when there is not enough water to get in the marina

Jersey's marina is well located and very convenient for the town of St Helier. The marina staff are all very helpful. Note: Entry cards are now provided to the facilities and the visitors marina - so access is back to 24 x 7 which is good news.

The weather is transmitted on VHF channel 18 on a regular basis

Tides - We have been working on the following site to predict exact times of opening and closing of Marina gates. Although mathematically accurate, the times of the traffic lights may vary. The St Helier Marina for example lets boats out of the Marina first and then allows 2 way traffic.

If users could check the figures and let me know their findings e.g. what time the lights go green - that would be most helpful and will help improve the system. Thank you
