The waters around the Channel Islands offer a fabulous cruising area for yachtsmen with St Helier the ideal base for circular and day cruises. Many French ports can be reached within a single tide. A range of skippered or bare boat charters is available, and the fleet includes yachts and motor cruisers suitable for families or large groups. Visiting yachtsmen can find attractive moorings, particularly suited to fair weather, in coves and bays on the north and south coasts, but you must complete custom and Immigration formalities at Gorey or St Helier Harbours. Jersey's new 600 berth Elizabeth Marina is situated at St Helier.
Berths are available to non-residents on one, five and ten year leases.
