Sangatte Mayor Guy Alamand confirmed the news, adding that seven people are in intensive care.
50 people have been rescued, some of whom have been taken to a rescue centre in Sangatte for treatment.
Many fell into the sea due to the overloading of the boat. The French navy and fire brigade joined the rescue effort.
A total of 35,491 people reached Britain in 2024.
The French and British governments have created a new port security command to take action against the dangerous practices of migrants crossing the border by boat.
