Hovertravel offers biggest cross-Solent discount this summer – PO postcodes save money on Isle of Wight trips
Make the most of summer with the biggest ever discount to get you across the Solent.
School’s out for summer and so Hovertravel is helping local families and individuals make the most of the season with its most generous cross-Solent discount to date.
If you have a PO postcode then you can claim a free HoverBlue card today which will give you up to 29% on fast, car-free Isle of Wight travel.
The HoverBlue card, available free of charge to anyone living in a PO postcode, offers up to 29% off standard adult day return fares — meaning you can travel to the Isle of Wight for just £23.60 per adult.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a spontaneous beach day or a car-free day of exploring without the cost and hassle of fuel, parking, or traffic jams.
Holiday your way and get there for less
This exclusive offer is open to the 855,000 people living in the Portsmouth postcode area and is designed to make travel more affordable, accessible, and enjoyable. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a romantic daytrip, or some solo sightseeing, Hovertravel offers the fastest ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight — just 10 minutes from Southsea to Ryde.
Hovertravel’s hovercraft lands right on the beach, and from there it’s just a short walk to Ryde’s golden sands, independent shops, lively seafront, and classic island attractions. With so much to see and do — from arcades and paddleboarding to scenic walks and fresh seafood — there’s no better time to plan your island adventure.
We know how precious the summer holidays are, and we want to make it easier for local people to take full advantage of the incredible destination right on their doorstep. With HoverBlue, we’re helping families, couples and friends enjoy great days out without breaking the bank.
The HoverBlue scheme is free to join and open to adults, seniors aged 60+, and children aged 5–15 who live in any PO postcode. Each adult cardholder can travel with one other adult and up to three children on the same discounted fare.
Cards are non-transferable and the named cardholder must be present to use the discount.
If you already have a HoverBlue card, now is the perfect time to use it! With the sun shining and the island buzzing with summer energy, there’s no better excuse to hop on board and enjoy the ride.
