Why choose us?

Every year, we bring 4.2 million people together through our three convenient ferry routes linking the mainland with the Isle of Wight.

We connect you with loved ones, business meetings, holidays, tradespeople, festivals, deliveries, wildlife and everything in between.

And we’re true believers that your getaway starts on board, which is why we’ve fitted our ferries to the highest standards – with sun decks, cafés serving locally-sourced food and drink and even play areas, so families can let the kids roam free.

But that’s not all – find three reasons why we feel we’ve earned your vote below.

Our amazing colleagues

Our colleagues are the heart of what we do and they’re often the first port of call when you have a question or issue at our ports and on board.

Whether it’s our Captains, Baristas, Port Operators, Engineers or one of the many other roles that make up the Wightlink team, we couldn’t be prouder of the service they provide you 364 days of the year.

Our punctual, reliable and regular service

Across our three routes linking Hampshire with the Isle of Wight, on average we run over 140 sailings a day. So you know that you can get where you need to be, when you need to be there.

Punctuality and reliability are vital to the service you rely on – from April 2023 to March 2024, 99.3% of our scheduled crossings took place and 95.8% of these left within five minutes of their planned departure time.
