Following Great Britain joining the Common Market it was recognized that there was business potential to further develop Brittany as a tourist destination, at the same time as transporting farm produce from France to the UK. Subsequently, the concept led to local farming co-operatives and the Borth Finistere Chamber of Commerce coming together to form the Company known today as Brittany Ferries.

A Brief History: In 1964 two Channel Island businessmen founded Condor Ferries having decided to comfront the conventional ferry services already operating on the Channel Islands to France route.
It was decided that Condor Ferries would offer a fast ferry alternative and subsequently their first vessel was a PT50 hydrofoil, built in Italy and logically baned Condor1. Two years later in 1966 passenger numbers had grown from 10,000 to over 60,000 a year and over the following 20 years prompted Condor to introduce further fast ferry technology. There followed launch of the companies first scheduled service between the Channel Islands and the UK mainland in 1987. At that time by the then Condor7 vessel and later after expanding its service, with a second vessel Condor5.
There followed the introduction of Condor9, a fast ferry wave-piercing catamaran onto the UK mainland to Channel Islands route and in 1993 they launched their 15 million pounds investment, and their first car-carrying catamaran - Condor10. The UK to Jersey and Guernsey ferry service had certainly been revolutionised.
Following introduction of its first fast ferry, Condor Ferries has launched new generation fast ferry technology onto their Channel islands route network almost every year. Today, they operate with Condor Vitesse and Condor Express, both advanced wave-piercing catamaran and have invested over 60 million pounds in their fast ferry fleet.
Today: Having recognised the need to offer a back-up all-weather car ferry vessel for those times when the fast ferry cannot reliably operate, Condor Ferries introduced the Condor Clipper. Now utilised on services departing Portsmouth it provides a more sedate crossing and appeals to overnight travelers and offers comfortable cabin options.
Operating a modern fleet of vessels and a route network including services from Weymouth, Poole and Portsmouth to Jersey and Guernsey, you should expect to receive high standards of comfort and service. Today, and if you are researching alternative ferry routes to France, then Condor Ferries also operate services from Portsmouth and Weymouth to the French ports of St malo and Cherbourg.

Most recently a sunsidiary of SeaContainers Limited, The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is now owned by the private equity company Montagu Private Equity Ltd.
Although prior to their formation as a company in 1830 there had been various operators servicing the Isle of man these services were irregular and vessels undependable, at times isolating the Island for weeks. Subsequently, in 1829 local residents formed a committee with the task of investigating the possibility of forming a Steam Packet Company of their own.
Indeed, the following year The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company was born with their first vessel 'Mona's Isle' commissioned at a cost of 7,250 pounds and sailed between Douglas and Liverpool.
The more reliable service and in 1962 introduction of the first car carrying vessel 'Manx Maid' resulted in progressively establishing the Isle of Man as a popular and chic tourist destination option.
Today: The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company (IOMSPC) now operates the latest fast ferry vessels resulting in crossing times being significantly reduced from the early days.
A twice daily year-round servive now operates from Heysham to Douglas by the recently extended conventional vessel 'Ben-my-Chree', launched in 1998 at a cost of 24 million pounds. Additionally, the IOMSPC also operates services from the Isle of man to Liverpool and both Northern Ireland and Eire.
You can choose between a more leisurely crossing of the Irish Sea on one of their conventional vessels or a faster option on one of the high speed fast ferry vessels. There are now more sailings than at any time in the past 50 years of operation and nearly double the services offered just 5 years ago.
