Passeport Escales

Jersey Marinas is a member of the ‘Passeport Escales’ scheme, which allows members access to free visitor nights at over 120 marinas in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Spain.

Passeport Escales is an easy-to-use, fully automated online system. It works as a reciprocal programme where berth holders check out of their marinas and choose another marina to stay at from the network. You must notify the date that you are departing your berth by creating a ‘cruising intention’ online through the Passeport Escales website or app. That enables us to open up your berth to other members of the scheme who are visiting Jersey while you’re away.

Further details can be found on the Passeport Escales website : https://www.passeportescales.com/en/

There is also a Passeport Escales app available for download for iOS and Android.

Passeport Escales membership is available to annual contract marina berth holders. Membership costs £20 per boat per year. Contact the Marina team by emailing marinas@ports.je to register.

Passeport Escales details

In order to use your free nights, follow these rules.

  • You must register your departure using the Passeport Escale app or website.
  • The offer is limited to two consecutive nights per marina and per stopover. A third night paid doesn’t entitle you to a fourth or fifth free night, the objective being to encourage boats to sail.
  • On arrival, proceed to the Marina office or inform the Marina staff (the following morning if you arrive at night), in order to comply with the stopover regulations. If not, benefits may be denied.
  • The duration of a free night is of 24 hours, calculated from noon until noon the day after.
  • An early return to your home port will cancel your cruising notification; remember to create a new cruising notification if you are planning to depart.
  • The benefits and services of your Passeport Escales are related to the terms and conditions of your contract with your home marina: validity dates, number of marinas offering benefits, number of free nights available per marina.
  • Your card is personal and linked to your boat : your Passeport Escales is not transferable in the event of the sale of the boat.
