Reviews & Ratings for the Schiopparello-Jet

In a significant incident on October 3, 2013, the 'Red Jet' ferry collided with the Hythe Knock navigation buoy, resulting in the resignation of the ship's master. Following an internal investigation by Red Funnel, it was determined that human error was to blame for the mishap. As a result, passengers have faced substantial disruptions, compelling Red Funnel to operate a limited one-vessel service. This service enables departures from the Isle of Wight every hour, specifically at fifteen minutes past the hour. Fortunately, the 'Red Jet 4' is expected to return to service shortly after a brief refit, allowing for a restoration of the regular sailing schedule by October 16.
