Wightlink – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

A dreadfully managed company! 32 sailings cancelled this weekend because an ‘essential crew member is unavailable’. Scary to think that one person ‘not being available for work’ can cause this much disruption, especially when the island has a population of 150,000 people and its peak tourist season. Why are there no back up plans in place? I’m baffled. There are no words to describe how poorly managed, arrogant and obnoxious this company is. If only MP Bob Seely would step in and fight for reliable and affordable cross solent travel, especially for residents… we can all dream.

No surprises here - delayed leaving Isle of Wight today (ferry) and delayed returning this evening (sea-cat). One star for this incompetent outfit is far too generous. An overpriced, underperforming monopoly that exploits their monopoly position with an indifference to it's passengers that borders on contempt. Greater regulation of ferry services is urgently needed to bring companies like this to heel.

Pathetically run company which is nothing about service or the well being of the island economy. A virtual monopoly which is all about extracting as much money out of you as possible. The CEO should be ashamed of the company he runs.

We have just booked a crossing across to the Isle of Wight to meet friends in a couple of weeks time, and I am shocked at how much it is to cross. Our total trip is £246. The return leg afternoon sailing which suit us are £157 - that's one way! We have booked slightly later in the day which is less convenient but it is still £148. We never thought we would be spending this much money to cross the Solent - we have gone to France a few time and been used to £100 return fares in the summer. This pricing is really unfair and surely can't be justified. Someone should be stepping in to stop the greed from companies like this - they know you have to pay out or just not go!

I would give nothing if I could, absolutely shocking service, expensive, and in this day and age getting away with one ferry an hour, during the day and God help you after 8 pm! Would be funny but it's true 😔😢
