FLOATING holiday pods have arrived in the St Helier Marina.
“The Shells”, which are just over ten metres long and 4.5 metres wide, were recently towed into position.
Built by a British company specialising in eco-friendly floating accommodation, Waterpod, the pods can sleep up to four people and feature a bedroom, bathroom, a front-deck overlooking the marina and a living room with sofa bed and kitchen.
To coincide with their arrival, Ports of Jersey has announced that bookings, available from 2 January 2025, can now be made online via freedomholidays.com.
The pods cost at least £175 a night and there is a minimum three-night stay, with a seven-day minimum during peak season. During June and July, the pods cost £225 a night, equating to over £1,400 for a week.
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.”
