At the Heart of Maritime St Aubin

The Boat House sits right on the harbour in St Aubin, Jersey's former maritime capital, brimming with seafaring history, island heritage and coastal charm. From the causeway walk to 16th-century St Aubin's Fort to the golden sands of award-winning St Brelade's Bay, discover why this harbourside village is one of Jersey's most captivating destinations.

St Aubin's Fort

Historic island fortress

This 16th-century fortress stands proudly on a tidal island just outside St Aubin's harbour, accessible by a scenic causeway walk at low tide. Built in the 1540s to protect Jersey's primary port, the fort tells the story of centuries of maritime defense, from English Civil War fortifications to WWII German bunkers. While the fort itself isn't open to the public, the walk across offers spectacular views back to the harbour and village, making it a perfect pre-dinner adventure just minutes from your table.
