Jersey Coastguard

People who dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard or call up on VHF marine radio channel 16 or 82 will speak directly with the team, which is available 24/7, to coordinate their rescue.

There are additional lifeboats in Guernsey and around the French coast which will also assist if required, as can a number of air assets, including Channel Island Air Search in Guernsey and several military and civilian search and rescue helicopters in France and the UK.

The bathing pool at Havre de Pas also has lifeguards on duty in summer months provided by the Jersey Government.

Jersey Coastguard uses the latest technology in their Maritime Operations Centre for routine and SAR working.
