Guernsey in a 4m RIB

Tim M · 19 August 2005, 19:36

By the title you might think I'm crazy. I'm not: I want to take my RIB over there on the ferry for a weeks fun at the end of September. Been loads of times before to see family, but have always flown.

Now, here's my question. Is there any other way of getting a car and a rib on a trailer to Guernsey (with 3 people) without paying £600 to Condore ferries? This seems like a ridiculious amount to me and I assume its becasue they have a monopoly. We've even looked at crossing the chanel to Calais, driving to St Malo and getting the ferry over from there. That's just as expensive though.

Certainly is.

Go by sea in the boat, and rent a car over there

Condor want £1k for 4 passengers and a 5 metre rib next bank holiday

Thats £5.00 per mile (return)

Get Jason from ProSport to drive it back to Guernsey after he drops off Codders' new RIB at the end of September

.............oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to go this year, didn't you?

Car and ferry across the channel, drive to Carteret and launch. Jersey 13 miles, Guernsey, another hour or so.

4 lads, one rib and a large tent, yep that will be a scream, do it
