We encourage you to purchase your ticket online in advance of travel - even if you're a foot passenger. You can also purchase single or return tickets in advance of travel online, or at either port, via telephone, or where possible, on the vessel.
When you pre-purchase a ticket for this route, you'll be purchasing an 'open' ticket, although the system asks you for a chosen departure date, your ticket is valid only for the timetable period for which they were purchased, either winter or summer.
Ticket validity - Turn Up and Go routes incl. 10-journey tickets - When making your purchase for Turn Up and Go routes - specifically single, return and journeys on 10-journey tickets, please keep in mind that these tickets are valid only for the timetable period for which they were purchased, either winter or summer. They cannot be amended and cannot be used outside the timetable period you have bought them in. They are also non-refundable. Summer 2024 (S24) 10-journey tickets are now available online, and will be valid for use from 29 March - 20 October 2024.
Purchasing tickets online? If you purchase tickets online as a group or for any number of travel companions, the full party must travel on the same sailing. This applies to both legs of your journey. If you are unsure if all members of your group are travelling together, please complete separate transactions online.
Travelling with a bike - If you're travelling as a foot passenger and bringing your bike, please add your bike(s) to your transaction - this applies to foot passengers. This ticket will remain free of charge.
Concessions and blue badge holders - SPT Ferry Card, Companion SPT Ferry Card and Blue Badge concessions are now available online, meaning they'll be applied to your ticket. This is an alternative to visiting the port office / speaking with staff. Please continue to carry your concession card or equivalent when you travel.
Check-in - Due to quick turnaround times all passengers are asked to be ready to board as soon as the vessel berths.
