Yarmouth is a gorgeous historic town in the west of the Isle of Wight, offering the shortest, quickest and most scenic car ferry route to the mainland. All three of our Wight class ships operate on this route – Wight Sun, Wight Light and Wight Sky. The port can be used by both car and foot passengers.
Our Lymington-Yarmouth car ferry route is currently operating a weekday-only, two-hourly service because of lockdown restrictions on non-essential travel.
This route gives you both breath-taking views and the utmost convenience. It’s the fastest way to take your vehicle across the Solent, with crossing times of just 40 minutes on one of our spacious, well-equipped ferries.
The route will take you through the mouth of Lymington River and past Hurst Castle on a beautiful journey, which will set you up perfectly for your trip ahead.
