I know this was many years ago but wow, don't know what your day job was/is but you certainly have a talent for presenting in a professional but relaxed way. Put many pros on the TV to shame to be honest. Great vid, thank you.

[@ScanandGo]

You are very kind. Thankyou.

I did the trip in May 2014, from Fife Scotland to Algarve in three days- should have taken 5 days to make the trip. I found this video helpfull

[@SimonDFox]

Excellent video. Very well presented and informative. Thankyou for making the effort for fellow mankind!

[@Paralyzer]

Thank you, great video
Im travelling to Santander in July on Brittany ferries from Portsmouth , and I booked a cabin with my wife .
This was really informative before I booked the trip 👍
From Santander we will make our way down to Malaga , south Of Spain and spend 2 weeks.
On the Return trip we will drive to France and spend a day or two there before we make our way to Calais and take the euro tunnel

[@Jayjayerome]

Yeah I'm going from Portsmouth! I love Plymouth I used to live near there and visit! I live in London now! Brittany ferries love ya!

[@commanderdot]

Good video, I'm doing my first trip to the UK by ferry (and indeed by boat) this october and didn't know quite what to expect, But now I know. :D

[@EtheB1]

Excellent, clear and informative. Thanks very much.

[@jacktaylor3312]

[@vps1305]

Went on Brittany Ferries Last year it was mind blowing me dad brother went from portsmouth to bilbao two nights and one day on that beautiful ferrie doing it all again this summer going to be AMAZING!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Never EVER put your bike on the main stand! Always use the side stand, and wrap a bungy round your brake lever and throttle. It's really safe way to transport your bike.

£350 x 650 is £234,000
But I was watching a documentary about luxury yachts, and they stated that euro 40,000 of fuel lasted 7 hours ... and that was quite a few years ago! So for an 18-hour return journey, you've already done over euro 205,000 on fuel alone.

[@SuzLa1]

Thank you. It's a very useful video.

[@Anzle9]

Yeah ive been on the pont aven and had a good experience on the ferry

[@craigrogers3864]

Great video

[@TheGoodlifeoffgrid]

The price is why expensive now the new ship iS not all good 😢

[@steveprice638]

If you left at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, I don't think you arrived Monday morning, surely? We've done this trip, though not on the Pont Aven, but it would have to be motoring to arrive within 20hrs maximum? We used to go for the Commodore Class cabins but not sure still available?

[@JackTaylor-pc1we]

Nice video

[@creepa9]

@people261 thanks mate!

[@alex4ander4]

Great vid like your presenting skills

[@Oldladysgin]

The secret with the crew and your car/bike etc Watch the crew, do what they say and indicate as they´ve done it hundreds of times before.

[@alanmetclaff6718]

Thanks for the info!

[@creepa9]

nice vid mate. im planning on doing the portsmouth santander, do u no if its a similar cabin type?

[@chipmunkXP100]

I did the breakfast and god it was very costly not good value

[@chrisv8238]

& you can have wine with your breakfast at 7am, not that I did though, probably next time.

[@00kirbyd]

Good review although I think I'd rather drive all the way or fly and hire a car.

[@ExploringHabit]

I'm cycling from Saint Malo to Santander and getting the ferry back. Do you recommend any good sea sick tablets as I'm worried I won't get any sleep lol.

[@emmashaw8157]

I know I'm late but try an acupressure seaband 😊

[@jpa6891]

How did you get on with your ride? I cycled Santander to Roscoff a few years ago and loved it.

[@ExploringHabit]

@@jpa6891 I couldn't go because of COVID. But I'm cycling from Bilboa to Saint Malo end of June this year.

[@jpa6891]

@@ExploringHabit that's a shame you couldn't do it! But brilliant you get to do it this year, very envious. Are you going on the ferry still?

[@ExploringHabit]

@@jpa6891 yes from Portsmouth to Bilboa , taking a trailer this time. Hopefully the hills in Basque country aren't as bad.

[@Stacy_Smith]

They need a ferry to Hawaii!
