Between Ryde on the Isle of Wight and Southsea in Portsmouth, Hovertravel runs the fastest ferry service. See our interactive timetable below for current flight availability and times.
One of the most recognisable types of transportation is still the hovercraft, which was appropriately invented on the island itself.
A once-in-a-lifetime event is riding one at speeds of up to 30 knots while floating 1.5 metres above the water.
A typical beach can be found at Appley Beach, which is less than five minutes’ walk from the Hover Terminal in Ryde on the Island.
