COVID-19 Visiting and local vessels – March2020
Mariners are advised of requirements relating to the self-isolation of persons arriving into Jersey.
www.gov.je/Health/Coronavirus/…
All persons landing in Jersey must self-isolate for 14 days. This includes arrivals from UK, Guernsey, Europe and the rest of the world and applies whether or not persons are displaying flu-like symptoms.
Commercial vessels will be required to complete a Maritime Declaration of Health.
Leisure vessels may continue to operate unrestricted provided they remain within local waters i.e depart Jersey, and return Jersey without landing elsewhere in between. In accordance with social distancing requirements you should not take people from outside your household on board your vessel.
In addition, all mariners are requested to observe social distancing as per the Government of Jersey guidance below:

The new waiting pontoon is now in place outside the main visitors’ marina. The pontoon looks longer than before but the biggest change is the removal of the old roll-on roll-off ramp.

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.
The 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
