Boat owners’ community

Boat owners’ associations

In addition to the local yacht clubs, local boat owners have a long tradition of running memberships amongst their own individual boating communities, set up and named after the particular port or harbour their vessel is moored in. The associations aim to:

  • promote and maintain interest in all aspects of boating
  • seek continued improvements and maintain acceptable standards
  • provide members with information, safety advice and assistance on matters connected with boating
  • monitor changes in local laws and regulations affecting boat owners’ and report such changes to the members
  • maintain close relations and to work together with Ports of Jersey in representing our members thus achieving the best policies for both parties
  • bring local boat owners closer together

Reporting incidents

You can report incidents using the general event reporting form, which is available from the Marine Leisure Centre or Maritime House.

Alternatively, you can report an incident direct to the Coastguard.

For any incidents taking place in the marinas, you should follow our emergency procedures.

Trace web app

Trace is a new free web app created by the team at Jersey Coastguard. It’s a simple way to submit transit reports, something anyone taking to the sea is asked to do, as an alternative option to calling Jersey Coastguard over VHF radio.

It includes a range of useful tools and safety reminders not only for mariners, but anyone heading out to sea, including kayakers, canoeists and paddle boarders.

Yacht and sailing clubs

The local yacht clubs and boating associations have strong memberships and provide a valued service to the local boating community.

The Club is situated on the South Pier of St Helier Harbour where you can watch the comings and goings of both commercial and pleasure vessels as they navigate the port.
