The ferries
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company runs ferries from Heysham, near Morecambe, and Liverpool. Spaces for bikes during TT fortnight sell out far ahead, sometimes a year or more in advance, so book as early as you can.
Getting to the port
Most riders ride to the port. But if the bike has a problem the week before, or breaks down on the way, a missed ferry is expensive. We can take the bike to Heysham or the Liverpool terminal for you, and collect it when you get back. Tell us your sailing time.
If it goes wrong on the island
We don’t operate on the Isle of Man itself. If the bike breaks down there, you’ll need a local garage or recovery service on the island, and you may be able to bring the bike back on the ferry as freight. Once it’s back at Heysham or Liverpool, we can take it home.
Classic TT and the Manx Grand Prix
The same applies to the Classic TT and the Manx Grand Prix in late summer. For classic bikes, see classic motorbike transport.
Areas near the ports: Lancaster and Morecambe and Liverpool.
