Default Isle of Wight ferry

Are they taking the piss with prices??

Im planning on going over at the end of this month to see a friend of mine.

40 quid for a day return to take me motor over there - or 51.50 if i have a weekend over there!

Passenger ferry is about 11 quid but I wanna take me car over.

Robbing c**ts I could go to france for cheaper

Does anyone know if I can get tickets cheaper than this?

Bit like any other ferry company that sails to an island, as they are probably the only operaters then they have you by the balls and charge stupid prices

I mean 40 quid for a day trip is f**king outrageous.

If the primary reason of doing this was to keep the number of cars down on the island then well and good BUT i just reckon its greedy ferry companys.

I believe a few years back, it was one of the most expensive stretches of water to cross. Something on South Today about it.
