Isle Of Wight reviews

  • "Good experience"

    Slight delay on crossing to IOW from Portsmouth but nothing major, got to Fishbourne early on way back and got put on an earlier ferry which was great. Seemed very well organised at both sides. Our first use of a ferry, good experience and would use again.

  • "Day Trip to IOW"

    Staying in Bucklers Hard, the obvious ferry to choose for an Isle of Wight day trip was the Lymington/Yarmouth ferry. The 10am/5pm timing was perfect for a day exploring the island, taking in a tour of Osborne house. Both crossings were excellent - comfortable with a good bar service and reasonable pricing.
