Saint Helier Marina
St Helier Marina is one of three marinas located in Saint Helier Harbour, and is operated by Ports of Jersey.[1]
The marina is mostly used for berthing private yachts using a series of pontoons.
Since 2008, the marina has been the venue for the annual Jersey Boat Show.[2]
Albert Pier
The marina is enclosed on the west-side by the Albert Pier, which was constructed from 1846.[3]
In 2004, the Needle sculpture on the pier, which commemorates the Golden Jubilee of the Queen Elizabeth II, was unveiled by her son Prince Charles during his visit to the island.[4]
New North Quay
The New North Quay, and Jersey Maritime Museum are directly to the east of the Marina.[5] Warehousing and cranes are also located on the quay.
