Jersey

Amazing restaurants, a very helpful marina office, and lots of places to see and visit, including the famous Jersey Zoo. What more could you want? Ideal as a destination or as a stopping-off point for Granville, Saint-Malo, the Rance or Saint-Cast.

Good facilities and low-cost fuel including low-cost petrol.

Rubis fuelling just outside of the harbour opens at 8 am

VHF Channels

When you approach and leave St Helier port limits, please keep a listening watch to St Helier VTS on VHF Channel 14 for awareness of all commercial movements.

Once you have entered the harbour, visiting vessels should contact Jersey Marinas on VHF Ch 80 for berthing information.

The Visitors’ marina is in a great location with very good facilities. The mens facilities were updated in April 2024. I did not have a look in the ladies facilities!

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.

Access to the pontoons is now to the North using a temporary ramp. The location of the previous ramp is being rebuilt and will be available soon. Not a problem, but just to let you know in case you have been before.

Updated facilities May 2024
Weather forecast available at the entrance to the facilities – Saint Cast style. Shows WindGuru

Note: If you have a dog on board, do not go into St Helier’s visitor marina as they are banned from that marina specifically. We suggest you contact the Marina office in advance for guidance.

Things to do

The Town is a few minutes walk from the marina and is a great place to shop. Always busy with some great restaurants.

Bikes can be hired nearby and the Petit Train goes to St Aubin approx every hour and takes 35mins. Well worth doing.

The bus station is 5 mins walk from the marina and from there you can visit all the major tourist sites including
