Southampton Ferry Port

Southampton is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, on the south coast of England, and is sited around 62 miles south-west of London and 19 miles north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton used to be home to a number of ferry services to the continent, with destinations such as San Sebastian, Lisbon, Tangier and Casablanca. A ferry port was built during the 1960s. However a number of these relocated to Portsmouth and by 1996, there were no longer any car ferries operating from Southampton with the exception of services to the Isle of Wight.

Cowes Ferry Port

Cowes or West Cowes as it is also known, is an English seaport town and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, an island south of Southampton. Cowes is located on the west bank of the estuary of the River Medina facing the smaller town of East Cowes on the east Bank. Cowes is a gateway town for the Isle of Wight. Travellers to Southampton are served by a high speed catamaran passenger ferry from Cowes known as the Red Jet. From Cowes Pontoon (the Red Jet terminal) Southern Vectis buses take travellers on to other Island destinations. The Cowes Floating Bridge connects the two towns of Cowes and East Cowes throughout the day. It is one of the only chain ferries left not to have been replaced by a physical bridge.

Red Funnel Isle of Wight Ferries

Red Funnel The Isle of Wight Specialist carries passengers and vehicles on routes between Southampton and East and West Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Formed in 1861, and originally called “The Southampton, Isle of Wight and South of England Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Limited”, its name remains the longest for a registered company in the United Kingdom. The shortened name was adopted after 1935 when all vessels operated by the company adopted the black-topped red funnel in their livery.
