Portsmouth Fishbourne Ferry reviews

  • "To and back from the Isle of Wight"

    Excellent. Having had to call out the AA environment route to Portsmouth, I was late arriving. The Whitelink people could not have been more helpful and I was on the ferry. I cannot comment on catering as I did not eat or drink on the ferry.

  • "Excellent service but too expensive."

    The service is excellent but the costs is too high. I realised it was around 20% of my whole spend. They need to lower the price in my opinion. The stay on the Isle of Wight was Brilliant.
