Explore the rugged north coast with its jagged cliffs, secluded coves, and hidden beaches. Discover historic forts, picturesque fishing harbors, and the intriguing Devil's Hole cave. Alternatively, venture south to witness the site of a WWII naval battle. Jersey Seafaris also offers trips to Les Écréhous and Les Minquiers, groups of islands and rocks off Jersey's coast. These areas teem with marine wildlife, including dolphins and seals.

Private charters are available for tailored experiences, including trips to France for dinner or picnics on secluded sandbanks. St. Catherine's Breakwater itself is steeped in history. Construction began in 1847 with the intent to create a harbor for the Royal Navy, but the shallow waters thwarted these plans. Today, the breakwater is popular with sailors, canoeists, and anglers.
