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 for the season in which you've purchased it, and it won't have a specific sailing time.
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.
