Red Funnel Ferries is turning up the heat on UK staycations this summer with the launch of its Sunshine Guarantee, offering peace of mind for travellers heading to the Isle of Wight.
Known as the sunniest spot in the UK, the Isle of Wight enjoys an impressive 1,976 hours of sunshine each year, more than 400 hours above Cornwall and 200 more than the Isles of Scilly. Confident in the Island’s strong sunshine record, Red Funnel is offering 50 percent off ferry travel for a return trip later in the year if your summer getaway is interrupted by a full day of rain.
The Sunshine Guarantee applies to anyone travelling with Red Funnel and staying for three or more nights between 1 July and 30 September 2025. If it rains for an entire day during your stay, simply email sunshineguarantee@redfunnel.co.uk with the date of rain, a photo or video, and your booking reference. All claims will be verified using Met Office rainfall data.
Whether you are soaking up the sun on one of the Island’s 25 beaches, paddleboarding through secret coves, exploring over 500 miles of footpaths, or enjoying dinner by the sea, the Isle of Wight is full of sun-soaked charm and adventure.
Travellers can also book accommodation and Island attractions directly through Red Funnel for added savings.
Red Funnel Ferries has connected visitors with the Isle of Wight since 1861. Its one hour vehicle ferry service sails daily between Southampton and East Cowes, and the 30 minute Red Jet passenger service connects Southampton to West Cowes at speed.
