Travel to Motorcycle Racing Events by Ferry
For motorcycle racing fans, getting to the event can be almost as enjoyable as the racing itself. Travelling by ferry lets you bring your own motorcycle and continue directly towards the circuit or destination.
Alternatively, travel with a car, campervan or motorhome if you need more room for luggage and camping equipment. You could even extend your stay and turn the race weekend into a longer motorcycle or European road trip.

Why Travel to Motorcycle Racing by Ferry?
🏍️ Take Your Own Motorcycle
Travelling by ferry means you can take your own motorcycle rather than arranging transport or hiring a vehicle after arriving. Ride to the ferry port, board the ship and continue your journey once you reach your destination. For many motorcycle fans, that can make the journey part of the adventure.
🚗 Travel With Another Vehicle
You do not have to travel by motorcycle. Cars can work well for groups, while campervans and motorhomes can provide additional space for longer racing weekends. Choose the vehicle that works best for your trip and remember to enter the correct details when booking.
🏕️ Bring Your Camping Equipment
Many motorcycle racing events offer camping close to the action. Taking a vehicle gives you more flexibility when packing tents, sleeping bags, chairs and other equipment. Always check the campsite rules and your ferry operator’s luggage requirements before travelling.
👥 Make It a Group Trip
Heading to the racing with friends? Travelling together can make getting there part of the weekend. Meet at the ferry port or plan a longer ride towards your destination. You can also share accommodation, camping equipment and other parts of the trip.
Taking a Motorcycle on a Ferry
Taking your motorcycle on a ferry is straightforward, although the exact boarding process can vary between operators and ports. When booking, select a motorcycle as your vehicle and enter any information requested by the ferry operator. At the port, follow the signs towards vehicle check-in and the instructions provided by staff.
Motorcycles are secured during the crossing. Ferry staff will tell you where to park and what you need to do before leaving the vehicle deck. If this is your first time travelling with a vehicle, our Travelling by Ferry with a Vehicle guide explains more about the boarding process.
Planning Your Motorcycle Racing Trip
Start by looking at where the event takes place and which ferry ports provide practical access to the destination. The closest port will not always provide the easiest journey. Consider the length of the ferry crossing, departure times and the distance you will need to travel after arriving.
You should also think about accommodation, parking and camping before booking. Major motorcycle racing events can create heavy traffic around circuits and event areas. Therefore, allow plenty of time for the final part of your journey.
Turn Your Race Weekend Into a Road Trip
Your trip does not have to begin and end at the racetrack. Taking your own motorcycle gives you the freedom to explore more of your destination. Add an extra night, discover a new riding route or visit another destination before travelling home. For longer trips, travelling by ferry can turn a motorcycle racing weekend into a much bigger adventure.
