Jersey and Guernsey marinas attend the Saint Malo boat show

From 16 to 19 April, the Guernsey and Jersey marinas attended the Saint Malo Boat Show for the second year in a row. This annual event is organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Ille-et-Vilaine and the maritime sector of the Corsair City. The show has become an unmissable event in the leisure industry bringing together 160 exhibitors, 200 boats. This year’s edition saw over 26,000 visitors, an increase of 30% compared to 2025! The Channel teams reassured visitors about the regulations in the Channel Islands. Both marinas discussed with Bretagne Plaisance (the Brittany Region) and the Ports de la Manche (the Normandy Region) on the introduction of ETA (=Electronic Travel Autorisation) from 23 April in the Channel Islands, visas and the future changes for the yachting sector.  This visit has strengthened the links between the Channel Islands and the Normandy and Brittany regions and will open more opportunities for future collaboration. The St Malo boat show will return for a third edition in 2027. More information on the Saint Malo boat show here.
