Alderney Ferry Services secures Ferry subsidy for 2025
Alderney Ferry Services Ltd will continue to operate the subsidised service between the Island and Guernsey for the summer season following the outcome of the Tender process commenced at the start of 2025.
Although Alderney Ferry Services is already running daily services between the islands, the subsidy period begins on May 26th to cover the second May Bank Holiday and continues until September 26th.
Two rotations will be available every day with additional rotations in August to cover Alderney Week. Fares are £60 one-way for adults and £45 one-way per child up to 14 with babies under two travelling free, and while there’s no extra charge for large luggage, dogs and cycles will be £5 one way.
Stuart Clark, Chair of the Economic Development Committee said:
“The States of Alderney is delighted to continue its partnership with Alderney Ferry Services which is under the Directorship of a young local family. The service has demonstrated in the past few years that it provides a vital connection to visitors travelling from Guernsey to explore our great offerings, support for our hospitality sector, as well as benefitting islanders travelling to Guernsey.The service has cemented itself as an essential transport link for the island and therefore we are as equally pleased to have secured an option to extend this service for 2026 & 2027 subject to review.We wish Alderney Ferry Services every success with the season ahead and look forward to welcoming visitors from Guernsey and further afield to enjoy our unique and special island.”
Alderney Ferry Services co-director Charlie Smith said:
“Myself and Dan are very pleased that we have been awarded the subsidy to operate between Alderney and Guernsey which we know is a vital transport link for our island. We look forward to working alongside the States of Alderney and Visit Alderney as we have a very busy season ahead and we look forward to welcoming everyone onboard”
