Ryde and Isle of Wight coverage

We collect from Ryde, Seaview, Nettlestone, Havenstreet and all PO33 locations. For mainland delivery we co-ordinate via the Ryde–Portsmouth Harbour route — Hovertravel reaches the mainland in under 10 minutes, while Wightlink vehicle ferries operate from Fishbourne. From Portsmouth we join the M27 for Southampton (20 minutes), the A3 for London (1 hour 30 minutes), or the M3 and M4 for the West Country and Wales.

Industries we serve from Ryde

Ryde is the island's commercial gateway. We collect for NHS Island Healthcare and St Mary's Hospital supplies needing mainland transfer, tourism and hospitality operators requiring urgent consumable deliveries, estate agencies and legal practices that need documents in Portsmouth or Southampton the same day, and marine and sailing businesses sourcing parts from mainland suppliers. Our island knowledge means we plan crossings efficiently so nothing is left waiting on the pier.

Why Isle of Wight businesses use Pony Express

Island couriering demands more than a mainland run — you need a partner who understands the ferry timetables and plans accordingly. We collect in around 30 minutes and manage the crossing and mainland leg as a single seamless service, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Goods-in-transit insurance is included, and our 30-plus years of experience means island logistics holds no surprises for us.
