- Published
The dates for the 2025 Barclays Jersey Boat Show have been announced.
Ports of Jersey has announced the three-day event will be held at St Helier Marina and Weighbridge Place from 3-5 May 2025.
Exhibitors are also able to register their attendance at the event as the application window has opened.
Jersey’s harbour master, Captain Bill Sadler, said he was thrilled to be presenting the "finest of the island’s maritime community" once more.
He said: "Ports of Jersey is grateful for the support we get from our sponsors, marine traders, exhibitors, and participants, and we hope everyone will get on board with our move towards making next year's show a more sustainable and environmentally conscious, community-centred event.”
Ports of Jersey said the show, which is the largest free-entry public event in the Channel Islands, attracts more than 30,000 people.
It added the 2024 show featured 66 exhibitors, 41 caterers, and 52 display boats.
Ports of Jersey said several requirements had been introduced for exhibitors to make the event "more sustainable and environmentally conscious".
"Balloons and confetti are not welcome, as once used, they become litter and make their way into the sea where they can cause problems for marine life," it said.
"Exhibitors are encouraged to use Velcro straps rather than cable ties, to reuse banners for future shows, and to limit their use of single-use plastics and polystyrene for items like straws, food and drink containers, cutlery and carrier bags."
It added further details would be released as they were confirmed.
