Why travel by ferry from Portsmouth to Jersey?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Portsmouth to Jersey ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Jersey. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Portsmouth to Jersey is an ideal way to travel.

Transporting your bike is not a problem
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You travel from Portsmouth to Jersey with complete peace of mind, without fear of damage to your bike. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Jersey.
To not get tired, unlike in the car
Long car journeys are tiring and require constant vigilance when driving. The Portsmouth Jersey ferry trip is exactly the opposite. On board, depending on the Condor Ferries ship in service, everything is designed to give you time to relax in the calm of comfortable reclining lounges, to lounge on the outside decks, to entertain and to have fun. No doubt you'll arrive in Jersey completely relaxed.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Portsmouth to Jersey. But it's not always pleasant to be tied to your seat for long hours. During the Portsmouth Jersey ferry journey with Condor Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A flight will never provide you with so many services during the trip.
