Islanders are invited to come together to honour their accomplishment at a celebration in the Royal Square on Saturday from 14:45.
The event will feature the Intrepid 232 crew in open top vehicle, as well as live music and a Q&A sesson.
The Bailiff, Sir Timothy Le Cocq, said: “Many incredible Jersey rowers have completed the World’s Toughest Row but the fact these four ladies now hold the Ocean Rowing Stats World Record as the oldest female fours crew to ever cross the Atlantic Ocean gives particular cause for celebration.
“The crew of Intrepid 232’s determination, teamwork, and unwavering spirit have propelled them to achieve a historic feat that will be remembered for generations to come and inspire many others.”
