Wightlink Ferry Port

The WightLink car ferry connects Fishbourne, Isle of Wight to Portsmouth. There are several ferries in the fleet, one of which is fairly new and more accessible than others. I travel on a very regular basis and this review covers both. Cars are packed into the ferry like sardines and so if you require any extra space to exit your vehicle or gain access to the lift this MUST be booked beforehand by phone. There are ticket concessions to blue badge holders. It can get very busy in the holiday season and unbooked cars are highly unlikely to be given a space. Crossing time is approximately 45 minutes

Firstly, there's a discount for Blue Badge holders, our flexible ticket cost less than my parents' non-flexible ticket as we booked using my Blue Badge. We missed the information telling us to book a space near the lift for a wheelchair, but all the staff were extremely helpful when we got there, ensuring we had an accessible space near the lift on both crossings. Half a star is lost purely because they're working with a ferry that wasn't designed to be accessible. Every single staff member works hard to make accessible journeys as easy and pleasant as possible.
