The route is well connected, with the Portsmouth passenger terminal just a short stroll from Portsmouth Harbour railway station. Wightlink’s FastCat brings passengers from Portsmouth to Ryde Pier, with journey times around 22 minutes. How does it work if I’m a foot passenger? Wightlink’s Lymington to Yarmouth route is the fastest car ferry crossing but the drive through the New Forest to get to Lymington can also be slow moving on busy days.
Remember that Portsmouth and Southampton can be busy cities, especially at the weekend. You should arrive at the ferry terminal at least 30 minutes before your crossing departs but no more than 60 minutes before. Southampton to East Cowes with Red Funnel – 55 minutes Portsmouth to Fishbourne with Wightlink – 45 minutes Lymington to Yarmouth with Wightlink – 40 minutes All the car ferry routes take less than an hour to cross the Solent. How long does it take to get to the Island?
Wightlink, who operate car ferry and passenger routes from Portsmouth and Lymington, Red Funnel, who operate car ferry and passenger routes from Southampton, and Hovertravel who run a passenger service from Southsea. The Island is served by three independent ferry operators. It’s quick and easy, you can come by car or on foot and you don’t need a passport!
The Isle of Wight is just a few miles from the UK mainland and unless you’re travelling on a yacht or private plane, your trip to the Island will start with a ferry crossing.
