Journey to Jersey<br />
Jersey is the most southerly destination in the British<br />
Isles. Located some 100 miles south of mainland Britain<br />
yet only 14 miles from the nearby French coast, the<br />
Island provides visitors with fantastic opportunities to<br />
explore both on sea and ashore.<br />
Jersey experiences some of the largest tidal ranges in<br />
the world (up to 12 metres), thereby providing<br />
yachtsmen with some of the most exhilarating sailing<br />
imaginable. Coupled with a favourable climate (Jersey is<br />
officially recognised as the sunniest place in the British<br />
Isles) visitors will be assured of a warm welcome at<br />
whatever time of year they visit.<br />
Where Next?<br />
Jersey Marinas looks forward to welcoming visiting<br />
boat owners to our St Helier marinas, all of which have<br />

Gold Anchor’ status. Our marinas have a range of<br />
facilities and services available on both the pontoons and<br />
in the surrounding area. Pontoon facilities include CCTV,<br />
disabled access, drying out pad/blocks, electricity and wifi<br />
whereas on shore we offer a launderette, refuse<br />
disposal, showers, toilets and café. Boat owners can also<br />
take advantage of our low-cost fuel, which is available<br />
