ECREHOUS SEAFARIS
Ecrehous Seafaris
This is one of our most popular Seafaris: The Ecrehous is a small group of islands and rocks situated 6 miles from Jersey. Although close to France, the islands are part of Jersey (the parish of St Martin). On a typical trip passengers will cruise around the reef hoping to spot the varied birdlife, Atlantic Grey Seals, and if you are lucky, bottlenose dolphins. Our awesome crew & skippers will tell you stories and fascinating facts about Jersey & Les Ecrehous.
On the high tide, the old fishermen's huts feel isolated and vulnerable, whilst low tide reveals sandbanks and rock pools to explore. The area is perfect for paddle-boarding, swimming and picnics. Don’t forget you camera!
The Ecrehous is a wetland of international importance (Ramsar site). The code of conduct for the area can be found here.

TESTIMONIALs
A brilliant day out with an amazing crew
“An absolutely wonderful day. Our crew Patch and Geno were first class and so knowledgeable about the local wildlife and their preferred locations. They engaged wonderfully with our group which included all age groups and we all felt extremely safe in their hands. We had an amazing 30 minutes watching a pod of dolphins playing around before heading to the Écréhous for a picnic lunch and plenty of time to explore. A grand day out that is highly recommended!"

Low tide treat!
“Took a last minute trip to the Ecrehous with a friend visiting the island, and we had an incredible afternoon. Visiting the Ecrehous is so special, and even better that is was a very low tide so we got to stop off at a sandbank not usually there. The crew Josh and Patrick were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!”
