have got my travel sorted (thanks wightlink and dyno) but for others i have emailed red funnel to see if they can do anything for group bookings
but individually car inc 4x4 and small vans (5.5m) plus 3 adults and 8m trailer (inc boat) from soton to cowes £101.48 return going about 7pm each way
all larger vehicles are charged at commercial rate so have to add vat so van plus 9 m trailer £250 plus vat
these are cheaper than wightlink but you still have to drive round the river better than getting stuck on the chain ferry from east to west cowes
hope this helps
as i said i am awaiting a return from my email regarding group bookings with possible sponsorship from red funnel
