The St Helier Boat Owners Association (StHBOA) represents and supports local boat owners, providing a clear voice on matters affecting St Helier Harbour and its surrounding waters. We work closely with Ports of Jersey and other stakeholders to ensure that the needs, concerns, and ideas of our members are understood and taken seriously.

Our purpose is simple: to safeguard the interests of boat owners, promote safe and enjoyable boating, and help maintain and improve the facilities we rely on. Through regular engagement with Ports and other authorities, we aim to influence decisions that impact moorings, maintenance, access, safety, and long-term harbour planning.

We also provide members with up-to-date information, opportunities to raise issues, and access to useful resources. A recent addition to our work is the Repairs & Maintenance Tracker, which helps us monitor harbour-related issues and communicate more effectively with Ports. A public view of this tracker may be made available on our website so members can follow progress.

Whether you are a long-time berth holder or new to boating in St Helier, the Association offers a valuable way to stay informed and contribute to shaping the future of our harbour.

St Helier Harbour is the main harbour on Jersey, located on the island’s south coast and managed by Ports of Jersey. In addition to the commercial harbour, there are over 500 drying moorings in the historic Old Harbour, ranging from small dinghies to craft up to 14 metres long, with specially constructed cradles for deep‑keeled yachts.
There are three marinas: the La Collette Yacht Basin, St Helier Marina, and Elizabeth Marina. La Collette and the deep-water pontoons on Albert Pier provide 24-hour, non-tidal access.
