The facilities onboard our car ferries include: 

• Spacious lounges with comfortable seating
• Panoramic windows
• Café
• Bar
• Gift Shop (on some ships)
• Video and gaming machines
• Large sundecks with seating where you can stretch your legs and relax in the sea air
• Lifts between the car deck and passenger lounges on our Portsmouth-Fishbourne car ferry service and new Lymington - Yarmouth ships.
• Dog-friendly areas in the upper passenger lounge and outside decks on the Portsmouth-Fishbourne service and sheltered outside decks on the Lymington - Yarmouth route.

Plus, don't forget to pick up a copy of Wightlife magazine - our guide to the Island which is available free onboard. To find out more before you set off visit their website at wightlife.com.

Coffee Quay
Enjoy a great selection of sandwiches, cakes, biscuits, confectionery and hot and cold drinks 24 hours a day in the Coffee Quay, which can be found in the main lounge on all our car ferries.

 Treat yourself to a latte or a pot of tea and sit back while the Solent drifts by. In fact, why not save some time if you are travelling in the early morning and enjoy a hot drink, some toast and the day's newspaper as you cruise across? What a civilised start to the day.

Bar
There are fully licensed bars onboard all our car ferries serving a wide range of beers, wines and spirits 24 hours a day.  Why not try one of the locally brewed Island beers onboard or to take away as a souvenir?

 The Ship's Store
Some of our ships on the Portsmouth - Fishbourne service are equipped with a walk-in shop that sells a range of Island souvenirs, as well as books, magazines, confectionery and children's toys. If you have forgotten anything we also stock a range of convenience items in St Clare’s Quay Convenience outlet. The Ship's Store is open at peak travel times onboard the St Faith and the St Cecilia.

Onboard our other car ferries, newspapers and a small range of souvenirs are available from the Coffee Quay
