Jersey Seafaris was established in 2011. It quickly established itself as the largest RIB operator in the Channel Islands. We run regular RIB boat trips, tours and charters around Jersey’s magnificent coastline and offshore islands. We are the number 1 boat tour in Jersey on Trip Advisor! We also provide Private Charters for a bespoke experience – zip across to France for dinner or enjoy a picnic on a sandbank miles from land, with just your friends or even the odd dolphin for company! We look forward to welcoming you on a Seafari soon! All of our trips are carbon neutral, we offset each litre of fuel through the Durrell Re-Wild programme, planting trees in the Atlantic forest in Brazil.

isle Maritime provides training afloat and offers trips under sail and power from Guernsey, including amongst the stunning, RAMSAR-designated Humps reefs, at the centre of our beautiful archipelago.
This area is home to a thriving population of grey seals, and is visited by common, bottlenose and Risso’s dolphins, along with basking shark and tuna. The islands’ rich fisheries are exploited by native and migratory bird species including puffin, cormorant, shag, tern, guillemot, fulmar, razorbill, oystercatcher, gannet, skua, and shearwater.
Note that landing is prohibited from January to July, to allow the tern populations to breed and nest undisturbed.
