DFDS to launch inter-island ferry route

DFDS will be offering a roundtrip service between Jersey and Guernsey on Mondays starting from 16 June.

11 June 2025

Berthing trials for DFDS’s Tarifa Jet are set to take place at St Peter Port harbour on Thursday 12 June.

This is in preparation for the upcoming launch of a new, additional ferry service between Guernsey and Jersey, which is set to launch Monday 16 June. It will run every Monday from then until the end of August, on a trial basis.

Chris Parker, DFDS route director for Jersey, said: “We’re excited to be able to launch these eagerly anticipated sailings to Guernsey, providing connectivity for islanders.”

He continued: “We have worked closely with businesses and the tourism industry on our provision of inter-island services, in addition to our Poole, Portsmouth and St Malo routes.

“Thank you to residents for their patience and we look forward to welcoming you onboard.”

The Committee for Economic Development has signed off on this new inter-island route to complement the existing Wednesday service currently provided by Brittany Ferries.

Alongside the investment into Islands Unlimited, which is now running an interisland passenger ferry, this increased scheduling will offer more choice and allow greater flexibility for islanders travelling between Guernsey and Jersey.
