Travel to the Island (if not at the end of an oar)
Various ferry options are provided by
Wightlink (Portsmouth to Fishbourne and Ryde, Lymington to Yarmouth) and
Red Funnel (Southampton to East Cowes - vehicles, and Southampton to West Cowes - high speed foot-passenger service) who both offer a mixture of car transport and foot passenger vessels and
Hovertravel runs a foot-passenger service between Southsea and Ryde.
Another option is boat hire. There are a number of companies on the Island who charter boats including collection from the mainland, several of which are linked to below (but this is by no means an exhaustive list!):
