WATCH: Floating holiday pods arrive in Jersey

Monday 11 November 2024

Ports of Jersey's two new holiday pods – created by a British company specialising in eco-friendly floating accommodation – have arrived in Jersey.

‘The Shells’, which are just over 10 metres long and 4.5 metres wide, were towed into position in St Helier Marina this morning.

Built by Waterpod, the pods can sleep up to four people with a bedroom, bathroom, a front-deck overlooking the marina, and a living room with sofa bed and kitchen.

Pictured: The pods have arrived in Jersey, with bookings now available online.

To coincide with their arrival, Ports have announced that bookings, available from 2 January 2025, can now be made online via freedomholidays.com.

There is a minimum three-night stay, with a seven-day minimum during peak season.

Jersey's Harbourmaster, Captain William Sadler, said: "I’m delighted to see the pods finally in the water in Jersey.  

"These floating holiday homes in St Helier Marina will offer holidaymakers and islanders the chance to experience a relaxing holiday, in a beautiful location in town, with all the amenities nearby.

"One of the wonderful features of The Shells is that they are designed to move with the tide, which is eight metres in the marina, offering a different view throughout the day."
