    Portsmouth (or Southsea) to Ryde

    Portsmouth fastest if you have a car - or gone by train as the trains go straight into Portsmouth harbour. Southsea fastest crossing as still uses hovercraft - but pedestrians only.

    hover craft - southsea to ryde

    or the fast cat portsmouth harbour to ryde ,

    if you have a car you have a choice of either portsmouth or southampton with pretty much the same crossing time.

    RE: hover craft - southsea to ryde

    Thanks guys.

    I was thinking Portmouth may be my best option.

    Whichever route you take its the most expensive ferry crossing in the world apparently ..

    .. worked out on a cost per mile
