British Channel Island Ferries

1984 - 1986


Channel Island Ferries was founded in late 1984 by a consortium which included Brittany Ferries to compete with the Sealink service to the Channel Islands.

1986 - 1994


In 1986, the company merged with Sealink and  was renamed to British Channel Island Ferries in order to operate ferry routes from Portsmouth and Weymouth to the Channel Islands. In January 1994, British Channel Island Ferries was bought by Commodore Shipping. Condor Ferries took over the passenger operation solely from Weymouth.
