How to find us
Sailing into Beaucette Marina is a memorable experience. Located on Guernsey’s stunning northeast tip, Beaucette is accessible via a well-marked channel. Our deepwater entrance is dredged to approximately 2.5 metres above chart datum and opens around high tide — giving visiting yachts a safe and scenic route in. Please call ahead on VHF Channel 80 or phone to confirm your ETA and berthing instructions.
Look out for the distinctive white entrance markers and follow the leading lights to guide you through the narrow cut in the granite — originally blasted through solid rock by the Royal Engineers. Once inside, you’ll find calm waters, a warm welcome, and full marina services.
Beaucette is more than just a safe harbour — it’s your gateway to island charm, excellent dining, and total relaxation.
