Since winning its 15-year contract with the States of Guernsey and launching routes from France (St Malo) and the UK (Portsmouth and Poole) to Guernsey and the neighbouring island of Jersey a year ago, the Company has recorded encouraging results. In 2025, the total number of passengers carried to Guernsey increased by +29% compared to 2024, confirming the growing attractiveness of these routes.

In addition, Brittany Ferries' market share on maritime routes to the Channel Islands now stands at 46% over the period April 2025 – January 2026, compared to 32% a year earlier over the same period. Although Guernsey represents only 37% of the total population of the Channel Islands, these results confirm the very promising dynamics of this first year of operation.

Christophe Mathieu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Brittany Ferries:

" Brittany Ferries' vocation is to connect people, to promote exchanges and to contribute to the dynamism of the regions it serves. For the past year, we have been ambitiously developing our services to Guernsey, with the aim of creating concrete benefits for the island, the United Kingdom and Brittany, our region of origin.

We are proud to see that, fifty years after we launched our first operations in Saint-Malo with the link to Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, we are further strengthening our presence from this emblematic port. We are mobilizing our Breton know-how in maritime operations and destination development in order to offer a more complete offer that is better adapted to the needs of travelers between France and Guernsey, as well as between Guernsey, the United Kingdom and Jersey.

It is also very encouraging to see that this dynamic is fully shared by our customers, who are increasingly choosing Guernsey and St Malo for their travel and trusting Brittany Ferries. We would like to thank our customers on both sides of the Channel for their loyalty and trust: this growth marks a new stage, and we will continue this momentum. »
