Hythe Ferry update – 18th December 2025
We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and continued support as we focus on finding the best way forward to protect this important service for our local community.
Essential works to support the pier and ferry operations are progressing, and we’re pleased to confirm that the owners of Hythe Pier recently completed critical electrical repairs.
This is an important step forwards but there is still work to be done.
The ferry is a much-loved and historic part of our community, and we’d like to reassure you that there’s a lot happening behind the scenes, with our team, to find the right way forward and secure its future.
As soon as we have any further updates we will let you know.
In the meantime, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
The Hythe Ferry sails daily between Hythe and Southampton Town Quay providing a car free, carefree, and fun trip for all ages and the chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of the bustling port of Southampton.
Sailing from the end of Hythe’s historic Pier, one of the ten longest piers in the British Isles, and with the World’s Oldest Pier Train (official Guinness World Record), the Ferry trip offers some of the best views of the cruise liners in port as it sails right past the berth of Queen’s, when at home.
The Hythe Ferry also offers a great link to the Isle of Wight in in partnership with Red Funnel Ferries.
