Wightlink

Wightlink is an award-winning ferry operator, linking the Isle of Wight with Hampshire through three convenient ferry routes. We offer excellent facilities, on more than 100 sailings a day, across our eight well-equipped ferries. We’re punctual, reliable and speedy, with crossing times from just 22 minutes. We’re also striving for a greener, more sustainable future.

We’ve been carrying people across the Solent for over 160 years now and things have changed a lot in that time. Bigger ferries, more passengers, quicker crossing times – the list goes on. But some things remain the same, not least our dedication to providing the best service possible and our passion for the Isle of Wight. That’s why we have more ferries on more routes running more often than any other cross-Solent service and that’s why we love what we do.

We’re leading the way for a greener future. The introduction of our hybrid energy flagship ferry, Victoria of Wight, to our fleet has brought in a new, greener era of ferry travel between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. She’s the first hybrid energy ferry in England and she uses 17% less fuel than the next largest ship in our fleet, St Clare. But that’s not all. Our ambitious green agenda sees us tackling plastic waste, providing and maintaining marine habitats in our ports, reducing food miles and much, much more.

Whatever route you choose, you can expect comfortable crossings and catering for every need. All our ferries have spacious lounges and outdoor sun decks so you can relax and take in the stunning views as you cross the Solent. You can also get something hot to eat at each of our ports and on board every car ferry, with Isle of Wight-sourced food and drink at our Wight Taste stores.
