Ferry Weymouth - Guernsey

Weymouth – Guernsey with Condor Ferries

This route links Weymouth with Guernsey, operated by Condor Ferries. The two ferry terminals are about 130 kilometres (70 nautical miles) apart in a straight line. Use the search engine above for current timetables and fares, or use the Direct Ferries button at the top of the page to compare the sailings.

Founded in 1964 by two Channel Islands businessmen, Condor Ferries is the main link between the UK, Jersey, Guernsey and Saint-Malo, carrying around a million passengers a year as well as the islands' freight. Since 2020 it has been owned by a consortium led by an infrastructure fund, with Brittany Ferries as a minority shareholder.

Weymouth

Weymouth sits close to the middle of the Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site, where the cliffs expose some 185 million years of geological history and fossil-hunters and walkers come for Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Just along the coast, the Isle of Portland, joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach, an eighteen-mile bank of shingle, gave its pale limestone to St Paul's Cathedral and much of the rebuilt City of London. Back in town, the Victorian Nothe Fort, now a museum, overlooks the harbour entrance, and the long, gently shelving beach is one of the most family-friendly on the south coast.

Guernsey

Guernsey is an island of small, specific delights. The Little Chapel at Les Vauxbelets, begun by Brother Déodat in 1914, is a miniature cathedral covered in pebbles, seashells and fragments of broken china, and is said to be among the smallest chapels in the world. The island's name lives on in clothing, the guernsey jumper once knitted for its fishermen, and in the golden-milk Guernsey cow. More recently it became the setting for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, the 2008 novel and 2018 film about life after the wartime Occupation. From St Peter Port, boats leave for neighbouring Herm and Sark, so the harbour makes a natural base for island-hopping.
