The Poole to Jersey ferry
DFDS took over Jersey's ferry services from Condor Ferries in 2025, and the Poole to Jersey crossing is now one of its Channel Islands routes. Sailings leave Poole on the Dorset coast and arrive at St Helier, Jersey's capital, after a crossing of around four and a half hours. The service runs a few times a week rather than daily, so it is worth checking dates early, especially for summer. Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, known for its long sandy bays, coastal walks and a mix of British and French influences.
