In my lifetime, I have been on about 30 ferries I think. Various trips to the Continent and Ireland have taken me on loads of different companies and types of boat but none can rival the SeaCat out of Newhaven, Sussex. In 1987 I went to Spain with the school on a trip and we had to go by coach. We went from Newhaven to Dieppe which took about 4 hours on the boat. Newhaven was at the time a busy port but not to the same extent as the more often used Dover and Folkestone. I was therefore suprised to learn during my use of the port in 1998 that there was only one boat operating out of the port now, the SeaCat. you can make your own conclusions on this. Channel tunnel, cheaper air fares and a smaller continental contingent using the port all all to the decline. When We arrived at the port, it was very different to how I remember. Customs and loading was very casual. Everyone drove onto the huge catamaran and off we went. Its very spacious inside but not the same size as the larger Channel ferries. On board, there is the usual duty free shops, restaurants, seating areas, gaming machines and aft deck outside viewing. What is a significant change from my last visit is the journey time. It is cut by over half to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Limitation on the boat are quite stringent. It is a fair weather craft and does not run if the sea gets too choppy. Being a catamaran, it rides high in the water and is obviously more at risk to flipping than a ferry. Its still the best and quickest way to get across the channel when travelling over it instead of under it. Prices are not too bad. We got a real good deal for about £75 for a week return and 4 adults in June.

Useful opinion but in the wrong place. This section is for SeaFrance Dover-Calais Ferries, Not SeaCat.

I've just used this service and reviewed it as a foot passenger on a daytrip - not good. As a car user I can see some advantages but I think Dover is the winner.
