Checked: 6 October 2026

Looking for a Wightlink discount code? Wightlink rarely hands out codes to the public. Its offers are applied automatically when you book through the offer page, and there are several standing ways to pay less. Below is what works right now, checked against the Wightlink website.

Other ways to pay less with Wightlink

• Avoid 10:00 to 16:00. Wightlink prices car crossings dynamically. Early morning and evening sailings usually cost less, and the Best Fare Finder shows the cheapest days.
• Book early. Last-minute car bookings are the most expensive.
• Tesco Clubcard. Every £2.50 in Clubcard vouchers is worth £5 towards your sailing.
• Railcards. A through ticket by train and ferry gives up to a third off with a 16-25, Senior or Disabled Persons Railcard.
• Blue Badge. Blue Badge, ENCTS card and Disabled Persons Railcard holders save up to 25%.
• Staying on the island? Many hotels, campsites and holiday parks have reduced ferry fares for guests. Ask before you book the crossing yourself.

For Isle of Wight residents

• Sunset Flyer: from £40 per leg with a car when you leave the island between 18:00 and 09:05 and return in the same hours within 30 days.
• NHS appointments: 50% off, and never more than £35 per leg.
• MyLink membership for cheaper foot passenger travel, and the Discounted Fares Scheme for low-income households.

Wightlink in short

Wightlink runs three routes across the Solent: the car ferries from Portsmouth to Fishbourne and from Lymington to Yarmouth, and the FastCat for foot passengers from Portsmouth Harbour to Ryde. The other operator to the island is Red Funnel from Southampton: see our Red Funnel offers. Which crossing suits you best is in our Isle of Wight ferry guide.
