Frequently asked questions
- How long is the Saint-Malo – Jersey crossing?
- Around 1 h 55 on the fast craft. Mind the time difference: Jersey keeps UK time, one hour behind France, which makes the crossing look shorter on the printed timetable.
- Is there a ferry every day?
- No. The route is seasonal and does not sail to Jersey every day, even in summer. Some dates have no departure at all, so check your exact date in the search before planning your trip.
- Can I take my car to Jersey?
- Yes, vehicles are carried on this crossing. Jersey is small, though, so many travellers go on foot and hire a car locally or use the bus network.
- Do I need a passport for Jersey?
- Jersey is neither part of the United Kingdom nor of the European Union but applies UK-style entry checks: a valid passport is required for EU nationals. Check the current rules before you travel.
- Can I do a day return?
- Yes, when two sailings run on the same day: an early departure around 07:15 and an evening return leave you a full day on the island.
