General Safety & Marina Conduct

• Pontoons & Walkways : Pontoons can be slippery, especially in wet or icy conditions. Due to our large tidal ranges, the pontoon gangways can also be very steep at low water. Please wear appropriate footwear, avoid running , and keep walkways clear of equipment and materials.
• Vessel Speed : Maintain a maximum speed of 4 knots while in the marina to prevent creating excessive wash.
• Prohibited Activities : For everyone’s safety, swimming, fishing, scuba diving, sailing, and SUP are strictly forbidden within the marina. BBQs are also prohibited on boats, jetties, or pontoons due to fire risk.

Emergency Procedures

• Reporting Incidents : Report all accidents, potential hazards, and defective or damaged marina equipment to the marina office immediately.
• First Aid & Emergency Equipment : First aid is available from the marina’s reception. A defibrillator is also available at the marina office as well as a number of locations around St Peter Port Harbour. Familiarize yourself with the location of safety boxes, emergency ladders, fire extinguishers, and life rings on the pontoons. Use rescue equipment only in the event of an emergency and advise the marina office if you use it.
• “Man Overboard” : In the event of falling into the water, shout for assistance and swim to the nearest safety ladder. If assisting someone who has fallen overboard, use onboard rescue equipment or help them to a nearby fixed ladder.
• Evacuation : In the event of an evacuation, head immediately to the nearest Fire Assembly Point or, if the route is blocked, the nearest Water Evacuation Point. Follow instructions from marina staff, security, and emergency services.

Fire Safety

• Onboard Safety : Install a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector onboard and test it regularly. Check that your fire extinguishers and fire blanket are serviceable.
• Raising the Alarm : In the event of a fire, raise the alarm by shouting “Fire, Fire, Fire,” evacuate the area, call 999, and then notify the marina office. Only attempt to fight the fire if it is safe to do so.
