Travelling to the Isle of Wight
The Red Jet Hi-Speed passenger service links Southampton to West Cowes. Red Funnel also runs a vehicle ferry to East Cowes. We’re located just a short walk or drive away from East Cowes, across the river.
A chain ferry next to the East Cowes ferry terminal connects both sides of the river, charging a small fee per crossing. This ferry can take both cars and foot passengers and runs every 10-15 minutes.
There are frequent train services from London Waterloo to Southampton Central, with a shuttle bus running from the train station to the Ferry terminal.
