Rendezvous Jersey 2024 – Crossing the channel – Part 2

Jersey Marinas and Le Mourier Marine are delighted to invite visiting powerboaters to two special Bank Holiday weekend events this summer, the Rendezvous Jersey 2024. The first has taken place on 25th to 26th May, the second is this month from 24th to 25th August.

Making the leap – Crossing the channel – Part 1

These will be wonderful opportunities to explore the waters around Jersey aboard your own vessel and take in some of its most incredible cruising grounds – all while in the company of knowledgeable skippers. The cruises will be led by Le Mourier Marine, a leading RYA school and charter company in the Channel Islands, so attendees will be able to enjoy the cruises confidently and safely under expert supervision.

A reserved mooring area for attendees will be available to powerboats wishing to join these events, and this will be located just a stone’s throw from the heart of St Helier. On the Saturday evening of both events, there will be an invitation-only reception area on Albert Pier overlooking the harbour. This will be a chance for the friendly and knowledgeable Jersey Marinas team to welcome everyone to the island, and for skippers and crew to make each other’s acquaintance.

Food and drinks stalls and a dedicated duty-free pop-up event will be on site, and there will be an opportunity to meet Jersey marine industry experts from event sponsors PC Boat Sales and South Pier Marine (who will have some of their stock vessels on display) and RYA powerboat instructors from Le Mourier Marine.

Sunday 25th August

Itinerary:

• A cruise around Jersey’s coast, sponsored by South Pier Marine. This will take in the island’s dramatic coastline and some of the lesser-known bays and beaches the island has to offer, hosted by an experienced skipper/instructor from Le Mourier Marine.
• Please note that attendees may arrive on the Friday preceding each event if they prefer. If you wish to extend your visit to Jersey, the Marinas team will be delighted to facilitate this.
