The offer is part of Wightlink’s 2024 Black Friday deals, following Red Funnel's one-third discount on ferry travel, which they advertised last weekend.

Wightlink’s commercial director, Phil Delaney, said: "There are so many reasons to visit the mainland over the next few months —from catching up with friends and family and visiting Gunwharf Quays, to enjoying the bright lights of London.

"But Islanders should book ahead to get their preferred sailing times."

This initiative is expected to encourage more Islanders to plan their trips to the mainland in advance, ensuring they secure their preferred sailing times and take advantage of substantial savings.
