Elizabeth Marina

Elizabeth Marina is Jersey's newest marina, which was opened in 1998. It has plenty of modern facilities, including electricity and water for each berth, and security cameras. Disabled access is good, with long ramps providing access to the pontoons.

Most vessels in this marina are the more expensive pleasure boats and yachts. The photo below shows a pair of brand new Fairline motor yachts.

At present there is a new Radisson SAS hotel being constructed, right next to the Elizabeth Marina. This hotel won't be open until late 2007, or 2008. However, there are plenty of other hotels nearby. These include the Pomme d'Or Hotel and the Grand Hotel.

You can find out more about St. Helier's main harbour, and nearby services on this page.

The above satellite photo shows the Elizabeth Marina, outlined in red. Elizabeth Castle can be seen, not far offshore. The castle can be accessed on foot, when the tide is low. On a high-tide there are amphibious vehicles which ferry passengers to the castle.
