The RYA is delighted to welcome Wightlink as the latest organisation to join its Member Reward Programme, offering exclusive discounts to RYA members.

RYA members can now enjoy 15% discount when travelling by car ferry and 20% discount when travelling as a foot passenger to and from the Isle of Wight with Wightlink.

Stuart James, Marketing and Innovation Director at Wightlink commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with the Royal Yachting Association and offering all RYA members car ferry and foot passenger discounts when travelling between Portsmouth or Lymington to our destinations on the Isle of Wight".

Crossings from Lymington to Yarmouth (car and passenger ferry) offer the shortest and quickest car ferry crossing at just 40 minutes. Perfect for exploring the west half of the Island. While crossings from Portsmouth, with excellent road and rail connections, to Fishbourne and Ryde Pier Head, ideally located for discovering all the Island has to offer take only 45 minutes (car and passenger ferry) and 22 minutes (Fast Cat passenger ferry).

On board you'll enjoy comfortable lounges, catering facilities and plenty of outdoor seating and viewing areas.

"Wightlink is a great partner for the RYA. Many sailing and powerboating events take place around the Isle of Wight and along the Solent coast line so being able to provide our members with a great discount when travelling to and from these events is a fantastic edition to the member reward programme", comments Gemma Garrett, RYA Membership Engagement Officer.
