St Peter Port - Docking
This is a ferry port and manoeuvring space is limited, so take special care when entering or leaving the harbour.
Marinas
The Victoria marina lock is open approximately 2 hours each side of HW. If arriving outside this time, the harbour launch will direct you to an appropriate holding pontoon. The harbour authorities are well organised here. Having sorted out the boats beforehand, a launch will then lead each boat to a berth when the lock opens and departing boats have cleared the entrance. It is important to take note of the Harbour staff’s instructions.
If departure time dictates, or your boat is unsuitable for the Victoria Marina (max. length 12.8, depth 1.8m) it is possible to remain in the outer harbour on the Swan pontoons. During the summer, these pontoons are linked to the shore, but they have no electricity.
Notes:
- Water is available at the Swan pontoons, but you will need to use your own hose.
- Large yachts must contact the Harbour Authorities in advance and they may be able to be berthed in the Queen Elizabeth II marina (after clearing Customs).
Anchoring
Anchoring in Havelet Bay (free) might be a better option if the weather is suitable (not in strong SE’lies), but note it can be uncomfortable at HW springs.

There is water available on the pontoons outside Victoria Marina, own hose required.
Rubbish recycling points are too far away to walk. There is a dumpster at the top of the pontoons outside the marina.
There are bins at the top of the Marina pontoon walkways but no recycling there.
The long pontoons in Victoria Marina have unusual cleats, you can’t throw a rope over them you have to get off and tie your rope through, maybe a problem if single or shorthanded sailing.
