Route guide

Plan your ferry from Jersey to St Malo

The Jersey to St Malo crossing links Jersey in the Channel Islands with St Malo in France. This route is part of the France / Channel Islands ferry network.

For a departure from Jersey, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. 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.

On the other side of the crossing, St Malo is your arrival port. St Malo is easy to explore on foot, while rail and bus links support onward travel through Brittany and northern France.

Compare the Jersey departure and St Malo arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Jersey to St Malo 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 St Malo may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

After arriving

Continue your journey from St Malo

St Malo is easy to explore on foot, while rail and bus links support onward travel through Brittany and northern France.

The walled city, ramparts, harbour and nearby beaches are best explored without a car, although cobbled streets and steps can slow progress.

A car is useful for Cancale, Dinard, Mont-Saint-Michel and smaller coastal villages; allow extra time returning to the ferry terminal during busy summer periods.

For an onward connection from St Malo, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Jersey to St Malo 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.
