Timetables

Live timetables

The best way to look at our scheduled sailings is to search for a crossing using our real-time Isle of Wight ferry timetable. Live timetables take into account up-to-date changes and so offer the best reflection of our service.

Restricted foot passenger sailings

On certain sailings, we have to restrict the number of customers who are able to travel. All foot passengers must book in advance on these sailings – please check these sailings before turning up at the port without a booking, as we may not be able to accommodate you.

Booking availability

Just so you know, on our live timetable, sailings within an hour will be displayed but can’t be booked online.
