How Fast is the Fast Ferry to Jersey?

[cassa333]

And if anyone knows the best firm to get a good deal would be helpful.

Whenever I look the quickest is 10 hrs. I thought they could do it in about 2 now a days???

Also I tried lookingup cheep flights but they were about £166 is so not so cheap!!!

Thanks

cassa, it takes 1.5-2 hours to cross from Dover to Calais, and that's only 22 miles - Jersey is a great deal further away! Where do you want to sail from?

Does this help? Condor Ferries operate a catamaran which will be faster than a ferry, but having crossed the Channel in one before, it can be a bit lumpy! http://www.jersey.com...cation=57&flighttype=

Hi Boxtops,

Somewhere central south, Portsmouth, Wymouth, Poole. That sort of area.

Thinking about it it takes about 45 minutes to get to the iow so Jersey is going to be loner lol

I can't even find these cheap flights. Someone must be snapping up the bargains!

I only need it to go to a meeting for the charity I volunteer for.

All I can suggest is that you ring Condor and ask if they have any business deals on the cat. Flights to Jersey have never been cheap and not all airports fly there - you'd have to get to Exeter (say) to pick up a flight.

Hi cassa, if you look at Condor ferries it takes around 3.5 hours from Poole or 4 hours from Weymouth.

My friend went last weekend to Gurnesey and it cost £15 return from Poole. You had to call the ferry operator to book it. I think the deal runs though october. I'll ask him if it includes Jersey and how long it took.

When are you travelling?
In the winter months Condor's fast ferry services only operate on certain dates. Here's the schedule from now to February:

As you'll see, it takes 4 hours from Weymouth or 4½ hours from Poole.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for all your answers. I have had a look on the condor site and the fast cat would get us there just in time to stay on for the return journey home lol

We went on the condor Ferry last year ( to Jersey from Poole), but be aware they don't sail to well in bad weather and have a habbit of cancelling them at any given notice! So it might pay to have a back up plan.

Hi, I don't know where you are getting those numbers from. From Poole the journey is about 4 hours 30 minutes and from Weymouth it's only about 3 hours and 40 minutes when you select the fast ferry. See the schedule here: http://www.aferry.co.uk/jersey-ferry-uk.htm
