Saint Helier Marina Explained

St Helier Marina is one of three marinas located in Saint Helier Harbour, and is operated by Ports of Jersey.[1]

The marina is mostly used for berthing private yachts using a series of pontoons.

Since 2008, the marina has been the venue for the annual Jersey Boat Show.[2]

Albert Pier

The marina is enclosed on the west-side by the Albert Pier, which was constructed from 1846.[3]

In 2004, the Needle sculpture on the pier, which commemorates the Golden Jubilee of the Queen Elizabeth II, was unveiled by her son Prince Charles during his visit to the island.[4]

New North Quay

The New North Quay, and Jersey Maritime Museum are directly to the east of the Marina.[5] Warehousing and cranes are also located on the quay.
