The destination guide

Guernsey is a Channel Islands yacht destination with St Peter Port, marina access, Sark and Herm island-hopping, beaches and coastal heritage.

Guernsey is included as a preliminary Superyacht Guide destination because it has cultural, strategic, marina, cruising, regatta, passage-making or shore-extension relevance for yacht itineraries. These destinations are not all conventional Mediterranean-style superyacht resorts, but they can add strong value to Northern European, Atlantic, North Sea or Baltic cruising routes.

For owners and guests, Guernsey can form part of a wider itinerary involving historic harbours, city culture, regattas, islands, castles, galleries, seafood, shipbuilding heritage, coastal towns, river approaches, archipelagos or summer cruising grounds. Its current Destination Star rating is deliberately capped pending full editorial assessment.
