With modern facilities and a regular ferry service to Dublin and Belfast, Ireland, which takes approximately 2.5-3 hours, the port is an important transportation hub and trade gateway for the Isle of Man.
Soderick Harbour is situated approximately 30 kilometers west of the Isle of Man's capital city, Douglas, and is surrounded by magnificent coastline scenery. The port is connected to the island's main towns by the A5 road and has excellent parking and waiting facilities for passengers and goods.
