Sandbanks Ferry to be out of service for two weeks in November due to refit

The Sandbanks chain ferry will be out of action for 15 days starting on November 5th 2024.

Weather permitting, the company says it will be carrying out a refit and therefore the service will be out of action till November 20th.

The service, which crosses between Sandbanks and Shell Bay, has been operating the Bramble Bush Bay Ferry since 1994 and cuts out a 25 mile return journey from Poole to Swanage.

We’ll keep you updated here and on the radio regarding the return of the service.
