DFDS has released the schedules for ferry services between Jersey and St. Malo, but it will take almost twice as long to travel between the two ports.
DFDS is operating sailings between the island and France five days a week up until May, using the Terifa Jet fast ferry.
However, the trip will take almost two hours.
The vessel holds 700 passengers and up to 175 vehicles.
People will be able to use free Wi-Fi onboard the boat, as well as shop at its boutique.
The first ferry leaves St Malo at 3:00 pm on 28 March 2025 and sets off again from Jersey at 4:50 pm.
Day trips will continue under DFDS, along with the typical longer trips.
DFDS Tarifa Jet
Chris Parker, Route Director for Jersey, says these schedules emphasise their commitment to providing a dependable and efficient service for all travellers.
"We would like to thank islanders for their patience while we have been finalising our schedules to France. We will continue to enhance our services over the coming months to ensure we are best serving the island."
DFDS' Chris Parker
Kirsten Morel, Jersey’s Minister for Sustainable Economic Development, says he is excited about the opportunities that our new partnership with DFDS will bring.
"Improved connectivity to France should be of benefit to us all.
"Our social, cultural and economic relationships with Brittany and Normandy are of great value and this schedule will allow us to strengthen those ties."
Bookings for all services will open by 31 January.
