Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing at Hovertravel, said:
"The summer period is always a vibrant and dynamic time across the Solent. We see a mix of regular commuters, island residents, and tourists all making the most of the season. Many visitors who travel to the Isle of Wight by car choose to hop on the hovercraft for a day trip to Portsmouth, and locals love the convenience of a fast link between Southsea and Ryde. By increasing our timetable, we’re giving everyone more flexibility and helping make those summer plans a little easier."
