Isle of Wight Ferries

Could anyone tell me when we can book the ferry for next August 2012 from Lymington to IOW ? We will have two cars & there will be 7 of us. Would like to get sorted soon

The website at www.wightlink.co.uk/ says that you can book 2012 crossings from November.

July thru August is the busiest period of the year for the IOW ferries. Anyone turning up without a prior booking at this time runs a high risk of being turned away as the ferry is full. Booking (a week or so) ahead also allows for considerably reduced fares simply not available on the day of travel.
