Jersey, Guernsey and Sark from Saint-Malo

10 places · Emerald Coast

A three to five day classic from Saint-Malo: St Helier on Jersey, the anchorages of Sark, St Peter Port on Guernsey and a night off Herm. Tidal streams exceed 5 knots around the islands and both main harbours have sills, so plan every leg on the tide tables. The islands sit outside the European Union: clear customs on arrival.
