British Superyacht are delighted to announce their attendance at the Barclays Jersey Boat Show 2025 gratefully supported by their Ambassadors Simon Porritt and Howard Le Cornu from Channel Island Port Services who will be hosting the British Superyacht Business Networking Reception.
British Superyacht CEO, Richard Selby said "The Channel Islands play a key role in the services sector of the superyacht industry and the business event created by our Ambassadors will bring together superyacht professionals to network and collaborate. I am also looking forward to meetings with Jersey officials and businesses to better understand the support that the Channel Islands need to continue to enhance their profile further as we continue to bring together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles. Jersey is within easy reach from Poole via the fast ferry which I will enjoy using"
In recent years, the Channel Islands, particularly Jersey, have focused on developing their facilities to cater to the growing superyacht market. This includes investing in marina infrastructure, providing secure berthing, and offering a range of support services.
Jersey Marinas receiving "Superyacht Ready" accreditation is a very important step in the islands being a superyacht destination. This insures that needed infrastructure, and services are available.
Key Attractions:
The islands offer a combination of natural beauty, a favourable tax environment, and a high level of privacy, which are all highly valued by superyacht owners.
Their proximity to both the UK and mainland Europe makes them a convenient stopover for yachts cruising the region.
The availability of very competitive VAT free fuel is a large draw for superyachts.
Supporting Services:
The Channel Islands have also developed a range of supporting services, including ship registries, yacht management, and financial services, which are essential for the superyacht industry.
In essence, the Channel Islands are building on their long maritime heritage to become a significant player in the modern superyacht sector.
