Nestled in the charming parish of St Bernard’s on the east coast of Guernsey, Port Saint-Bernard Marina is a delightful leisure harbor offering a unique blend of tranquility and adventure. While modestly sized, this marina has earned a reputation as a must-visit destination for yacht and boat enthusiasts seeking to explore the beauty of the Channel Islands.

Port Saint-Bernard boasts a rich history deeply intertwined with Guernsey's Celtic heritage. Its story extends back to the era of John Paul Jones, who once set sail from these shores during the American Revolution, freeing hundreds of prisoners working in coal mines. Originally settled by soldiers and British Loyalists after the revolution, it transformed into an industrial hub thanks to its abundant coal fields. Today, with a population of around 31,000, Guernsey welcomes visitors with open arms and captivating attractions.
