The Isle of Wight is well known as a seasonal holiday destination but with 72,000 homes and 140,000 permanent residents on the island, there is also a wealth of opportunities for your business.

While Wightlink is there for holidaymakers, it also means business when it comes to trade.

For generations, Wightlink has helped businesses to connect between the Isle of Wight and the mainland, offering new opportunities for companies and tradespeople in Hampshire and surrounding areas to reach out to customers on the Island.

Unlock potential

Wightlink’s dedicated Business Hub can help to unlock that potential and connect your business with new customers. It also has the experience of operating ferries on the route for many years.

From large companies in search of new opportunities for freight haulage to sole traders who want to regularly make the crossing on foot, the Business Hub can help with a service to suit you.

Making business easy

Convenience is the key word for how Wightlink can help – with vehicle ferries operating out of Portsmouth to Fishbourne 24 hours a day, as well as crossings between Lymington and Yarmouth. Both ferry crossings have excellent mainland connections to motorway routes.

A FastCat crossing as a foot passenger can get you across the Solent in just 22 minutes and there are good public transport connections at either end of your journey.

Helping your green credentials

Wightlink can also help reduce your firm’s environmental impact, as the largest ferry Victoria of Wight is the first large hybrid ferry in England. Other eco-conscious initiatives include electric vehicle charging at its ports, a commitment to reducing food miles and bold plans to help tackle waste.
