Home Office figures show 290 people made the journey in five boats on Sunday, suggesting an average of around 58 people per boat.
This is the highest number of people making the crossing in a single day for more than a month, after 358 people were recorded on January 17.
The crossings take the provisional total number of arrivals for 2024 so far to 2,006.
This is 32% lower than the total recorded this time last year (2,953) but 49% higher than the total at this stage in 2022 (1,482).
Some 29,437 migrants arrived in the UK after making the crossing in 2023, down 36% on a record 45,774 arrivals in 2022.
