Frequent traveller savings with our Season Tickets
If you are a frequent traveller to and from the Isle of Wight by foot, then our Season Tickets offer superb savings.
Giving you unlimited travel for a set period of time, ranging from seven days through to a year, Season Tickets are valid on any of our three routes. By choosing an Annual ticket, you could be travelling from as little as £6.10 per day*.
Our quickest route – Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde Pier Head – takes just 22 minute and has excellent rail connections on both sides.
Purchase your Season Ticket and spread the cost across three interest-free payments with PayPal.
Make your first payment at the time of purchase and then make two more payments on the same date each month, giving you flexibility to manage your spending in a way that suits you.
You’ll see the option to use PayPal at the payment stage of the checkout. Unfortunately, Adult Annual Season Tickets cannot be purchased with Pay in 3, as they exceed PayPal’s spending limit – we would recommend Direct Debit instead.
Share the love with your friends and family when you purchase an Annual, 180 Day or 90 Day Season Ticket, with exclusive savings on ferry travel to the Isle of Wight**.
Within a few days of buying a new Season Ticket or topping up, we’ll be in touch with discount codes to share with your loved ones who live on the mainland.
Annual Season Ticket holders get three 33% discount codes
180 Day Season Ticket holders get three 25% discount codes
90 Day Season Ticket holders get two 25% discount codes
Please allow up to 10 working days for us to verify your purchase and email you your discount codes. If you don’t receive your codes or have any other related queries, please get in touch with us using the form on our Contact Us page.
These friends and family savings are on top of the complimentary vehicle tickets you receive when buying 180 Day and Annual Season Tickets.

If you’re buying online, your Season Ticket will be valid immediately. We’ll send your paper ticket and paper Reward Pass in the post.

Using your Season Ticket to book online
If you purchased your Season Ticket online, you’re already set up and ready to go, but if you bought yours over the phone, you might have to get in touch with us for it to work with online bookings.

We’ll arrange everything for you and you can then login online.
When you’re ready you can make bookings using the Wightlink app by going to ‘New Booking’ and selecting ‘Click to book with a Ticket Pass’ before choosing your sailing time.
If you’d rather book on our website, select your sailing time and then tick ‘Book with a pass’. You’ll need to log in to your account when prompted and at the payment stage, choose the Season Ticket you’d like to pay with.

Payment must be made at the time of booking.
If you are copying and pasting the code into the box, please be careful not to include a space at the end of the code as the system will not recognise it. Also, be careful with the numbers 0, 1, 2, 5 as they look similar to the letters O, I, Z, S.
How to book: Copy the Promotion Code to use in the ‘I have a Promotion Code’ box at the bottom of the ‘Your Details’ stage when making your booking online. The discount will be shown at the payment stage of your booking.
If using a mobile device, make sure you scroll right to the bottom of Stage 3 (Journey Extras) of the booking process as this is where the ‘I have a Promotion Code’ is located.
Please note cancellation and amendment fees apply depending on the ticket type booked. More details can be found here: wightlink.co.uk/policies/product-rules.
Standard Tickets offer you the most flexibility. They are free to amend online, over the phone and at our ports. They are also refundable with just a £5 fee if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance of your outward sailing.
