35% Off Wightlink in 2025? Check Your Inbox For A Discount Code!

If you're on Wightlink's mailing list then take a look to see if you've received an email with the title "Pass it on: 35% off ferry travel".

This is one of the biggest discounts we've seen from Wightlink recently, but it's only available if you've been sent a unique code.

Who is this code for? When can you travel?

This 35% off discount code from Wightlink was sent out by email on 18 June 2025 to 'regular travellers', which will mostly be Isle of Wight residents and those with a second home on the Isle of Wight.

(I don't know what Wightlink's exact criteria was for handing out discounts, but next time I'd like them to hide the vouchers in chocolate bars sold in newsagents around the Island. Children would find a voucher inside a Double Decker and then run home whilst onlookers shout "Run for it! Run straight home!").

The journey has to be booked by 15 July 2025 and you need to travel between 24 June 2025 and 30 September 2025. The August Bank Holiday is excluded (22 - 25 August 2025) and your journey has to start from the mainland (although it is for a return journey).

You can use the 35% off with 'vehicles', motorbikes and on foot passenger travel.

A Welcome Discount For Friends And Family

This code is aimed at 'a loved one living on the mainland'.

I've often made the point that this group can fall between the cracks when it comes to getting cheaper ferry travel with Wightlink.

"Why's that?" I hear you ask in a polite tone.

Well, people who are paying for accommodation on the Isle of Wight can usually get a good discount via their holiday park, hotel, campsite or self-catering cottage. We've compiled a list of seven of the best ferry + accommodation bundles. If you stay at a Parkdean Resorts holiday, you can sometimes get 50 - 70% off the standard fare. Similarly massive discounts are offered by Away Resorts at their four Isle of Wight holiday resorts and by Warner Leisure Hotels. Lots of smaller accommodation providers also do good discounts if you book direct or give them a call.

Meanwhile, people who live on the Isle of Wight can sometimes get a return ferry with a car and passengers for about £80 via Wightlink's Multilink scheme. There are some restrictions to this and a requirement to pre-pay for at least five return journeys, and complete them within a year. There are other options for residents to help make the ferry cheaper. 

The group who can sometimes end up missing out on discounts are friends and family who want to stay with people they know on the Isle of Wight. They don't qualify for residents' deals and they don't qualify for discounts from accommodation providers. Their best bet is to look at our main guide to discount Isle of Wight ferry travel. That includes things like a 10% discount on Red Funnel that is valid all year.

Red Funnel's provision for friends and family is its Big Book of Savings, which is released five times a year and often includes fixed priced day discounted returns and discounts of about 15 - 25% off other journeys.

So, what's the 35% off Wightlink discount code?

We can't share the code as each one is unique and can only be used once. Sorry about that.

If you're planning a visit to the Isle of Wight and know someone who lives there, your best bet is to get in touch with them and sweet talk them until they give you the code. Think of yourself as a Tom-Cruise-in-Mission-Impossible character who has been given a limited time to retrieve a code to avoid the catastrophe of booking a ferry without using a discount code.
