Ferries to Guernsey

A Small Island. A Big Story.

Guernsey’s history isn’t something you have to seek out — it finds you as you explore.

A walk along the coast might lead you past wartime bunkers, while in town, the home of Victor Hugo offers a glimpse into the island’s literary past. In quieter bays, it’s easy to see what drew Pierre-Auguste Renoir here, capturing the light and colour that still define the coastline today.

The journey between them is part of the experience. Enjoy a scenic crossing across the Channel Islands, arriving directly in the heart of town — just steps away from shops, cafés and places to explore.

With straightforward day-return options, seeing both islands during your holiday couldn’t be easier.

A Day That Unfolds Naturally

Start your day wandering through St Peter Port, where cobbled streets open onto the harbour and it’s easy to lose track of time.

You might find yourself lingering over lunch in the old market, or simply picking up something fresh from a beach kiosk — a crab sandwich by the sea is a local staple, and each spot along the coast has its own character.

Later, a drink on the harbour front feels like a natural pause, watching boats come and go. If there’s time, a walk along the seafront towards the bathing pools offers a glimpse into daily island life — swimmers in the water, and locals chatting on the edge of the sea.

Nothing feels rushed. The day just finds its own rhythm.

Stop for lunch at a waterfront café or restaurant, enjoy a little shopping or sightseeing in the afternoon, and then take a convenient return sailing back to your base island later in the day.

It’s a wonderful way to add another island experience to your holiday.

Coastlines That Stay With You

To the west, long sandy beaches catch the sun — perfect for an easy afternoon or a swim in warmer months.

Head south and the island changes completely. The cliffs rise, the paths narrow, and hidden bays appear below you — the kind of places that feel quietly undiscovered, whatever the season.

At the centre of it all, St Peter Port brings everything together, with its mix of French influence, coastal views and relaxed pace.

If you’re visiting from the UK and want to see more of the islands during your stay, a short crossing with Islands Unlimited is the perfect place to start.

Easy to Reach. Easy to Enjoy.

Sail over in the morning and give yourself the freedom to explore.

Spend the day however it unfolds — in town, by the sea, or somewhere in between — then return later when it suits you.

With short crossings and regular sailings, it’s an easy addition to any trip.
