Although it is advisable you travel on your booked time, the timings on our tickets are flexible subject to availability.

If you are travelling outside of your booked time please arrive within plenty of time and we will try to place you on the next craft available but if it is full, then you may have to wait until the next crossing.

We always advise to pre-book, bookings can be made in advance online and via our app. Alternatively, you may turn up at the terminal on the day of travel and purchase your tickets from the Ticket Office. Please allow a minimum of 15 minutes to purchase your tickets before your flight is set to depart.

Please note advanced booking is required for festival and special event days. 

Depending on the type of ticket you hold, your refund amount will differ. Please view our cancellation repay policy here

Yes, dogs may travel with you but must be kept on a lead and must not travel on the passenger seats of the craft. There is no extra fare for dogs. Please note that there will be a penalty fare if the dog fouls on the craft, pad or terminal. 

You may take your bicycle on the hovercraft and they will be stored in the our luggage/freight compartment on the inside of our Hovercraft.

Due to space restrictions, we can only carry four bicycles on the craft per service. Bikes may not be booked on the craft; it is a first come first serve basis.

There is no extra charge for bicycles.
