With the £79 Short Stay fixed fare, you’ll pay just £19.75pp return for four people travelling with a car to the mainland.
Choose from convenient morning and evening sailing times, whether you’re heading across for a day out or even two weeks away – Autumn saver fares are valid against travel taken until 3rd November 2025. But hurry, these money saving fixed Autumn fares are only available now until they’re gone! Book now at www.redfunnel.co.uk/autumn.
Fixed price £59 Day Return and £79 Short Stay saver fares valid for departures from either East Cowes (06:30–10:30 & 17:30–23:59) or Southampton (06:00–10:00 & 17:00–23:59) with an alternative £89 Short Stay fare available for sailings outside of those allocated. The £99 Extended fare is available on any sailing at any time during the offer period.
Terms & Conditions: Fares apply to vehicle ferry crossings for up to 7 people in a car up to 5.5m in length and 2.0m in height (additional £2.50 per leg for high cars/vans). Not valid with any other Red Funnel offer or concession, including standard Travel Card discounts. Valid for new bookings only. Standard conditions of carriage apply. A £5 handling charge applies for telephone bookings.
Probably wise to avoid travelling on 30 Sept/01 October; If RF goes bust overnight (widely predicted), you might have a long wait to get ashore.
Still expensive for such a short journey, but at
least Red Funnel are doing something to help, what are
Wightlink doing to help!!
A sticking plaster to cover a heart attack! Red Funnel have until the 30th of this month to either sell up, or find millions of new investment, neither option has met with even a slight interest from the City. If the banks call in their debts, as is widely being reported, then Red Funnel will be history. It looks like the CEO is just closing her eyes, sticking her finger in her ears and shouting “nnnNNnnblahhh” Gosport ferry is also under threat I think… Good here aint it?
Time for a bridge or Tunnel, or just add a few more
miles of timber to Ryde Pier and vehicles and persons
could walk, drive or cycle to Pompey.
