Please be advised that the sailing times on the Lymington-Yarmouth route will be revised (as below) between 4 January – 29 March 2012 due to the Lymington berth improvement and habitat works that are required to be undertaken in connection with the operation of the W Class ferries.

In addition to the revised timetable a bus replacement service will also be operating between Lymington Pier and Lymington Town.

SERVICE ALTERATION - Monday to Friday from 18 January until 29 March
Following customer feedback, the 1700 replacement bus from Lymington Town to Lymington Pier will depart earlier to provide a connection with the Yarmouth ferry.
Lymington Town depart 1655 - Lymington Pier arrive 1701
to connect with 1705 ferry to Yarmouth (retimed 1700).

 

Low Clearance Vehicles

Please be advised that during the 3 month period of the berth works at Lymington (until 29 March 2012), passengers with low sports cars and low loaders freight vehicles are advised that due to the temporary berth/ramp at Lymington that this route maybe unsuitable for these vehicles at certain states of the tides. Where possible we would recommend that the Portsmouth-Fishbourne route is used as an alternative service.

Check-in

We'd like to remind you that you should arrive at the port at least 30, but not more than 60 minutes before departure. Whilst the berth works are undertaken, the barrier will be closed 5 minutes before sailing time and no more vehicles or passengers will be able to embark.
