We have two ferry terminals on the Isle of Wight separated by the river Medina.

A floating bridge (passengers & non-freight vehicles) connects East and West Cowes, avoiding an approximate 30-40 minute journey by road. Cowes is the birthplace of yachting and the destination for Red Funnel's services from Southampton. Located at the mouth of the Medina Valley, East and West Cowes give direct access to the Island's commercial corridor stretching as far inland as Newport.
