Pricing and key information
'Welcome' is an aluminium landing craft.
This means the bow door lowers down to form a small ramp and so you can easily walk straight on and off without any steps or having to climb over the side. Because of this, she is perfectly accessible to both wheelchairs and pushchairs.

The Ferry is priced as follows:
​
£5.00 per person each way
Babies under 1 year free
