Hoverspeed rules the waves with its superb fleet of seacat and
superseacat fast ferries, giving you a journey that is all about
speed, style and service.
There's no faster sea crossing to France with services from Dover
to Calais and from Newhaven to Dieppe. The Company carries around
2.5 million passengers and over 500,000 vehicles across the Channel
to Europe each year.
Hoverspeed operates a unique fleet of high-speed catamaran and
monohull car ferries. In 2003 Hoverspeed operates a fleet of three
Seacat catamarans on the prime Dover - Calais route, crossing in
just under one hour with up to 15 daily departures during the peak
season.
Hoverspeed is also the only high-speed operator from Newhaven to
Dieppe. The Company reinstated this popular direct link to Normandy
in April 1999. Hoverspeed will operate a Superseacat monohull high
speed ferry with a crossing time of around two hours, with up to
three return sailings operating daily in the peak period.
Hoverspeed was created on the 25 October 1981 with the merger of
two Cross-Channel operators - Seaspeed, which operated services
from Dover to Calais and Boulogne, and Hoverlloyd, which operated
from Pegwell Bay near Ramsgate to Calais.
