ENTRY TO THE MARINA The marina entrance is situated to the north western side of St Helier Harbour and is approached via a buoyed channel running along the western side of the Elizabeth Terminal breakwater arm. Due to the navigational requirements of the entrance, access into and out of the marina is controlled via a traffic lights system, permitting one way traffic from either side at 10 minute intervals. Vessels awaiting to enter the marina are requested to hold well clear of the marina entrance while awaiting the lights to turn green. Access to the marina is available approximately 3 hours either side of high water HOLDING AREAS Holding pontoons for vessels awaiting the opening of the marina are located within La Collette Yacht Basin on the outer D pier along with additional holding provided by the large holding pontoon situated to the northern end of the main harbour (No.5 berth) immediately to port and prior to the St Helier Marina. Both of these holding areas are all tidal and have shore access. Additional external, deep water holding buoys are located outside the marina entrance just off the approaches to the marina and main harbour. Note should be made that due to the large tidal range experienced in Channel Island waters, these holding buoys are subject to draught restrictions during spring tide low water periods and vessels should contact St Helier Port Control on VHF CH14 or the marina office to confirm sufficient water is available during these low water periods. SECURITY Access to the pontoons is restricted to Boat owners and boat crews only and is gained through security gates at the top of each access ramp via an electronic key pad and code Access to the facilities building is also gained via a code and electronic key pad CCTV surveillance is provided 24 hours along with a night-time security patrol, all year round
