The Isle of Wight is an English island and county in the English Channel three miles from the south coast of Great Britain. It is situated south of the county of Hampshire and is separated from mainland England by the Solent. Popular since Victorian times as a holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its natural beauty and for its world-famous sailing based in Cowes.
One of the main ferry companiers that said to the Isle of Wight are Wightlink. Wightlink Isle of Wight Ferries operates a round-the-clock service between the English mainland and the Isle of Wight. We run every day of the year on three routes across the Solent and sail up to 230 times a day.
Wightlink is the principal provider of ferry services between the Isle of Wight and the English mainland. We are the largest single user of the port of Portsmouth with more than 47,000 vessel movements over the year compared to around 3,000 naval sailings annually. Adding together our vessel movements - those around Portsmouth and those starting or finishing at Lymington - we operate over 68,000 sailings a year!
Wightlink, with its predecessors, has been operating ferry services for over 160 years!
From as early as 1796, ferries have been operating across the Solent, linking the Isle of Wight to the mainland. In the early nineteenth century, the poor road systems encouraged people to travel by sea between Lymington, a beautiful port in the New Forest area, and Portsmouth. Originally, steam ferries operated a circular route around Lymington, Yarmouth, Cowes, Ryde and Portsmouth, the rail companies themselves became involved in the operation of the ferries, with individual routes appearing between Lymington and Yarmouth and Portsmouth and Ryde.
Now, Wightlink carries over 5 ½ million passengers, over 1.2 million cars and almost 200,000 coaches and freight vehicles annually on its three routes to the Island. With twelve ships in the fleet and a revenue of some £51 million per annum, it is a large and important business.
