Marina Time Table – Jersey_2019 Marina Opening and Boat Hoist Operating Times
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
