About the operator

About Condor Ferries

Condor Ferries is the main passenger and freight link to the Channel Islands. Its high-speed trimaran Condor Liberation sails from Poole to Guernsey and Jersey in around three hours, with onward connections to St Malo in France, while a conventional ship operates from Portsmouth on the longer overnight crossing. Condor is the lifeline service for islanders and the principal way for UK holidaymakers to reach Jersey and Guernsey with a car. Sailings are weather-sensitive, as the fast craft can be disrupted by heavy swell in the Channel, so a little schedule flexibility helps. Condor carries cars, motorcycles and foot passengers; fares are per vehicle plus passengers, and island-bound bookings fill up fast in summer.
