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. Get to know us and find even more reasons to choose Wightlink below. Five reasons to choose Wightlink 1. 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. As recognition, we’ve been awarded gold member status in Visit Isle of Wight’s Green Star scheme, which celebrates businesses that play their part in providing sustainable ways to visit the Island. See how we’re striving to protect the sea, land and air around us 2. Comfortable crossings, 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 and a huge selection of hot drinks and snacks at our Costa Coffee outlets. And if you’ve got accessible travel needs, such as needing a wheelchair or some extra space to get out of your car, we’re on hand to help you out. Find out more about our facilities 3.
