Harwich Harbour Ferry

What a cracking way to get from Langard fort felixstowe to Harwich and Shotley. We had a cracking time on the ferry. Dont panic if you look at the pics it does go all the way on to the beach for pick up and drop off. My kids loved every minute of the journey and I will be using this ferry again as a quick and easy way to get to Harwich. Friendly staff and prompt service. The crew prefer you pay by card not cash so it's even easier. Well worth the cost. Shotley is also lovely with some great walks and places to eat

A reliable and fun service! Professionally run by a great crew.

The ferry was very prompt. I felt safe. Freddie was very polite.

Friendly, accommodating, on time. Enjoyed a day trip out of Harwich to Felixstowe thanks to this excellent service

This is a little known gem of the golden triangle of what is Shotley, Harwich and Felixstowe. Due to my work I often have to travel from Felixstowe to Harwich now you can get the train round which takes about two hours or you can ride on this little beauty and it takes about 15 minutes, no contest in my eyes. From Felixstowe it runs every half past the hour, the exact times for the ask the stops and running times can be found or the very easy to use website. You can either pay for your journey on board out book it on the website (I would recommend you book it on the website, just to be on the safe side as if not it's a first come first served basis). The boat comes right to the beach and lowers the gangway so you step straight from the beach onto the vessel. There's plenty of room on board inside and out (people even bring bikes onboard), buy if it's sunny I recommend sitting out it's just more fun. There's a lovely cafe which overlooks the bay so if you do miss your boat you can wait there our there's always the fort to explore. You can get use the train anytime bit when can you get to do the same journey in a quarter of the time for half the price and get to experience the most wondrous mistress that is the sea.

This service was great from Harwich to Felixstowe yet on return wasn't good, ferry didn't pick up passengers properly and didn't arrive where meant to...

Love this service and look forward to being able to use it again.

Lot's of free parking and a great little café. You can get a ferry to Harwich from here. Kid's love the fort and playing on the beach. We love going at night looking at the lights and big ships.

We had a lovely return trip to Harwich today. Our journey was made so enjoyable by Jenny.....she was cheerful, caring, gave great safety instructions and made our trips great!
