Passenger Ferries

At Poole Harbour Commissioners, we act as a staging point for ferries travelling to and from mainland Europe and the Channel Islands. We have ferries departing daily to Cherbourg in France courtesy of Brittany Ferries and the Channel Islands courtesy of Condor Ferries.

Cherbourg, France

If you’re looking to travel to and from France, then Brittany Ferries will get you and your vehicle there quickly. Crossing time is just 4 hours and 15 minutes and this service runs all year long.

Channel Islands

Between the months of April and October, Condor Ferries will take you across the Channel Islands on their Fast Craft service. Crossing time to Jersey is 3 hours and just 2 hours and 40 minutes to Guernsey.

Here at our port facilities, travellers will have full access to our passenger terminal. As well as a ferry company check-in and inquiry area, you’ll also find other facilities here too, including:

• Bureau de Change
• Café Bar and Restaurant
• Luggage Trolleys
• Full Range of Toilet Facilities

There are also specialist vehicles available to transport passengers on foot to and from the ferries. We provide an extensive passenger car park located directly opposite the foot pax hall at:

You’ll find luggage trolleys located here for your convenience. Other facilities include an overnight car and caravan parking area, café, toilet facilities, showers, chemical toilet disposal point and a facility for nursing mothers. The car park itself is a “Pay on Foot” system with all fees payable by cash, debit or credit card at the exit machines. The fees are as follows:
