Nine Solent crossings an hour from a choice of six crossing points make the mainland easily accessible.

Just think after a quick Solent crossing you could be:

• Shopping in West Quay or at Gun Wharf
  
• Going to the Mayflower Theatre
  
• Watching Premiership football at Southampton or Portsmouth
  
• Going to the Races at Goodwood
  
• Walking in the New Forest
  
• Flying abroad from Heathrow, Gatwick, Southampton or Bournemouth Airports

You could be in Cherbourg in 3 hours from Portsmouth by ferry
