SUMMER HOLIDAY 'SUNSHINE GUARANTEE' OR ‘SPLASHBACK’ ON YOUR NEXT TRIP

The Isle of Wight enjoys almost 2,000 annual sunshine hours, making it ‘the sunniest spot in the UK’ according to the Met Office, and thus the ideal, wonderfully different destination for your next summer holiday!

In fact, at Red Funnel, we’re so confident about the Island’s famous sunny climate that we’ll back your holiday with our ‘Sunshine Guarantee’ and give you our ‘Splashback’ discount if rain interrupts your holiday. *
