Brittany Ferries has announced a new partnership with Islands Unlimited to jointly market the local ferry company's sailings, enhancing inter-island travel for the upcoming 2026 season.
This agreement is set to expand Islands Unlimited's five-days-per-week service between Guernsey and Jersey, which will be available through Brittany Ferries' reservation systems and website, thereby increasing visibility among a broader customer base across the UK, France, Spain, and Ireland.
The collaboration is expected to bolster passenger numbers and support inter-island tourism, promoting a more extensive range of multi-centre travel options within the Bailiwick.
This partnership builds on Islands Unlimited’s launch last summer, marking the beginning of its first full season of operations.
Paul Acheson, Brittany Ferries' Group Director of Sales and Marketing, remarked on the new partnership, stating, “Following its successful first season in 2025, we are delighted to partner with Islands Unlimited. This agreement is a practical and workable solution that strengthens inter-island connectivity and supports two-centre holidays, bringing our customers closer to the Islands and delivering clear benefits for local tourism.”
He also noted the company's responsiveness to customer needs by organising additional sailings for events such as the recent Guernsey Rally and upcoming Muratti Vase.
Chad Murray, Managing Director of Islands Unlimited, said: “Last summer demonstrated the demand for a dependable inter-island service, and this year represents our first full season of operations as we build on that early success.
"Reliability is at the heart of what we do and partnering with Brittany Ferries allows us to grow with confidence, reach a wider audience and provide a service that passengers can trust throughout the season.”
Acheson further elaborated on the company's vision for the future, stating, “We are not standing still and are keen to bring the Islands of the Bailiwick closer together by teaming up with the local ferry operators serving Herm, Sark and Alderney. This will enable through services from the UK and France and help strengthen the regional transport network around the Channel Islands.”
