Southsea Hoverport

Southsea Hoverport

Southsea Hoverport is adjacent to Clarence Pier in the Southsea area of Portsmouth in southern England. From here frequent hovercraft services leave for Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The journey time is quicker than the conventional boats that sail from Gunwharf Quay, elsewhere in Portsmouth, but the hovercraft are more prone to service curtailment in inclement weather. The nearest rail station is Portsmouth Harbour railway station, although Portsmouth and Southsea station is not much further away.
