Wightlink Isle of Wight Ferries

About

Wightlink is the leading cross-Solent ferry operator carrying almost five million holidaymakers and Islanders to the Isle of Wight every year. We provide a FastCat foot passenger ferry service from Portsmouth Harbour Railway Station, to Ryde Pier Head, a beautiful seaside town on the north-east coast of the Island, with Island Line trains running directly to and from the pier. Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head is our quickest route with a crossing time of 22 minutes, thanks to our high-speed catamarans, Wight Ryder I & II. Facilities in both ports include a Costa Coffee serving hot and cold food and drinks, ticket office, toilets and baby-changing facilities. Car parking on Ryde Pier Head is available and bicycle racks are also available at both ports. Wightlink’s modern, comfortable catamarans provide spacious passenger lounges, sun decks to see the sights of the Solent and easy to access facilities. Wightlink offers frequent sailings all year round.
