A vote for us is a thank you to our teams

Behind every crossing is a team of people who care about your journey.

From the moment you arrive at the port, our colleagues are there to guide, support and welcome you. It’s the small moments as much as the big ones – a friendly face, a helping hand, a smooth crossing – that we care about.

A vote for us is a simple way to say thank you to the people who help bring 4.3 million people across the Solent every year

If that isn’t quite enough, here’s three reasons to give us your vote:

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 2025 to March 2026, 98.6% of our 39,065 scheduled crossings took place and 93.6% of these left within five minutes of their planned departure time.

About us

Our love for the Isle of Wight

Our love for the Island runs deep. Through our Wightlink in the Community sponsorship scheme, we support a number of sporting teams and organisations with discounted travel with the main objective of enriching the quality of life on the Isle of Wight.

With a focus on young people, we help with travel for competitions, events and exhibitions. We also work with charities in the local area, both on the Island and mainland, supporting a variety of projects.

Our dedication to sustainability

Caring for the environment is part of how we run our service. Across our fleet and ports, we’re taking steps to reduce emissions, minimise waste and use resources more efficiently.

Way back in 2018, we introduced England’s first hybrid energy vehicle ferry, Victoria of Wight, and we’re continuing in invest in smarter, more efficient technology to make our service more efficient.
