Vessels travelling to France from Jersey
Vessels travelling to France from Jersey
If you're travelling to France from Jersey, your vessel needs to clear Customs and Immigration when you first arrive at a designated port of arrival. You need to notify the port authority at that designated port of arrival who will notify the relevant border officials.
If in exceptional circumstance your vessel does not arrive in France at a designated port, that port's authority must be notified to authorise your entry.
If you're a British national, you should have your passport stamped on arrival in France and on departure.
The most relevant designated ports (Points de Passage Frontalier or PPF) to Jersey are:
Brest
Carteret
Cherbourg
Granville
Roscoff
St Brieuc
St Malo
For more information contact the relevant French port authority.

AIS stands for Automatic Identification System. An AIS transceiver is basically a VHF data radio connected to a GPS and a VHF aerial. The radio broadcasts data about your boat and receives data from any other transmitters within range, then outputs that information to a display.

WHAT TO DO WITH OUT OF DATE FLARES
With the summer season approaching fast, are you and your boat ready? One local boat owner recently purchased a second hand vessel only to find three red parachute flares on board that had expired in December 1992! Out of date flares can be extremely volatile and may not work at the point when you may need them the most. If you have any out of date flares, you can take them to the new Household Recycling Centre at their facilities at La Collette or Jackson's Yacht Services. Alternatively, South Pier Marine Ltd will take them if you are purchasing new flares in store. Every year between 2500 -3500 out of date pyrotechnics are disposed of locally by Stuart Elliott who is the island's explosives expert. If you have any questions regarding out of date pyrotechnics, please call Stuart direct on 07797 757977. Please do not dispose of them by any other means.
