Route guide

Plan your ferry from Guernsey to Jersey

The Guernsey to Jersey crossing connects Guernsey and Jersey in the Channel Islands.

For a departure from Guernsey, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Guernsey’s passenger ferry terminal is at St Peter Port, within walking distance of the historic harbour town and convenient for buses around the island.

On the other side of the crossing, Jersey is your arrival port. Jersey’s ferry terminal at St Helier places passengers close to the island capital and its main road network. Vehicle dimensions matter because larger vehicles can be subject to local road restrictions or permits.

Compare the Guernsey departure and Jersey arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Guernsey to Jersey result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Jersey may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Connecting the rest of your journey

Check the named harbour and local arrival time against onward transport. A short boat trip can still leave a long road journey to accommodation, and island buses may be tied to particular sailings. Arrange a realistic return plan before committing to a day visit.

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Guernsey to Jersey fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
