Wightlink celebrates the return of later FastCats with special offers at Gunwharf Quays
24th March 2023
Wightlink has teamed up with Gunwharf Quays Designer Outlet to offer savings for Isle of Wight residents and highlight the later FastCat sailings between Ryde Pier and Portsmouth Harbour.
These later sailings, starting Monday 27 March 2023, will be the 21:20 and 22:45 from Portsmouth and the 22:00 and 23:10 from Ryde. Crossings will also run hourly throughout the day, Monday to Sunday, as part of Wightlink’s summer timetable.
| Later foot passenger sailings | Portsmouth Harbour-Ryde | Ryde-Portsmouth Harbour |
| Daily from Monday 27 March 2023 | 21:20 and 22:45 | 22:00 and 23:10 |
These are the new offers* for Islanders travelling with Wightlink:
- FastCat and ferry customers can enjoy 23 miles of views across the south coast from the Spinnaker Tower’s panoramic viewing platforms, with 30 per cent off their entrance ticket.
- Savings are also available on meals at The Alchemist cocktail bar and restaurant in Gunwharf Quays. Wightlink customers can get 20 per cent off their dining bill for tables of up to six people.
- Islanders can shop ‘til they drop at Gunwharf Quays, then relax while sightseeing or enjoying their meal without having to carry their bags around. The Dropit home delivery service would usually cost £10.50 but is free to Wightlink customers.
Foot passengers can also take advantage of these offers using Wightlink’s car ferries. The 22:15 and 23:59 crossings from Portsmouth to Fishbourne (returning at 23:00 and 01:00) complement the scheduled FastCats to offer extra sailings to and from the Isle of Wight.
Wightlink Chief Executive Keith Greenfield says: “We hope Islanders will take advantage of this opportunity to cross the Solent later in the evening and snap up these bargain offers we have negotiated for our customers.”
Yvonne Clay, Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, adds “We are delighted to offer our ‘shopping bags to home’ for free to Islanders. Wightlink customers can enjoy all the excellent shopping and leisure activities, then travel home unhindered and in extra comfort, knowing that their shopping will be arriving at their address soon after they do.”
Customers should book their travel in advance through the Wightlink App or at www.bookspot.sbs
