Service status

Stay up to date with our live ferry updates

Find out whether our vehicle ferries and FastCats are running on time and check the live status of the Wightlink service using our ferry locations map.

We update our service status regularly throughout the day, bringing you news of any delays and cancellations.

Please check in for your sailing between one hour and half an hour before your scheduled departure time.

If your sailing is delayed, please check in half an hour before your scheduled crossing time as you would normally – we’ll be working hard to make up the time.

If the sailing you’ve booked on is cancelled, we’ll be in touch with you directly to let you know what you can do.
