About The Ferry
The Ferry started in 2012 and is a joint venture between the Littlehampton Town Council, the Littlehampton Yacht Club, Robert Boyce and the East/West Beach Cafes. The ferry service links the town centre with the sandy beaches, golf course and yacht clubs on the West bank of the River Arun. The boat was specifically sourced in Florida in the US and was shipped over to the UK to become the first and only one of its kind to operate in the UK. It is a pontoon boat that is very stable and capable of carrying 11 passengers (and skipper + crew) and is run over the holidays and summer months. There is luxury seating for 11 and a sun canopy. There are dedicated pontoons on either side of the river for easy access. The ferry can carry buggies, bikes and well behaved dogs. There are 2 easy access gates so passengers can step aboard with ease. There is disabled access from both the East and West Banks. Please contact us in advance to discuss your requirements. Call the Skipper on the day for info.

Head down to Littlehampton waterfront today for the last day of the waterfront festival 2025! Lots going on and fantastic displays on the water for all to enjoy.

What a superb day out on the water we’ve had today at Littlehampton Waterfront Festival.

Brilliantly well organised and a real treat for the people of the town and those of us fortunate to take part in some of the demos and races on the water.

As the local Jetski club, we have a few thanks to make…

First, to our eFoil display team lead by Duncan from LondonFoils with Emma, Chris, Jay and the guys from Hayling Island.

To our Jetski racers - Chris, Luke, Martin, Jack, Alastair and David. We can’t wait to go through all the videos of that!

To the ZapCats team for their races.

Arun Yacht Club for their Limbo race display.

To Guy for the brilliant Flyboard demo (such a shame we had a breakdown before we could demo the hoverboard too but that’s the nature of the beast!)

To Keith for the hovercraft demo - you make that so easy and we loved your little 360 on the Lifeboat slipway!

To Fiona, Xander and, Lee and Dawson from Littlehampton Yacht Club for accommodating so many launches, cars, absolute chaos at times, and a brilliant and-of-the-day BBQ at our wonderful club home!!!

to Rich, Kody and Emilio, the instructors from Seahorse Marine School for their on-the-water demo of PWC safety. We are so lucky to be affiliated with this school.

To Dominic, Chris, Luke and Jack for the safety boat patrol making sure, for our part, our teams were safe and accompanied at all time - and for ferrying our friends and family across the river!

To Chris for organising and pulling together all the teams and people to make most of the demos happen today and for providing your rib as a safety boat (and ferry!!!)

To the people of Littlehampton for coming out and supporting the festival. We hope you had a great day!

To Littlehampton Rnli Lifeboat Station for always being on standby for any incident on our local waters and keeping us safe when incIdents occur.

And finally, a huge thanks to our friends and colleagues at Littlehampton Harbour. Organising a day like this is no mean feat in itself but also takes a huge amount of trust and faith in the demo teams to execute everything safely while still creating a spectacle for the audience. We are very lucky that they put their trust in us and allowed us to use the harbour in the way we have today - there are really not many locations that would do it. THANK YOU!

It’s been a wonderful day for us all - we have a HUGE amount of photos and videos to go through and then we’ll get them posted in the coming days but if you have any, please drop them in the comments!
