Available for over a year

For the last 20 years, Red Eagle has ferried millions of passengers across the Solent. She's the newest of the three Raptor class ferries operated by Red Funnel and she's just gone back into service having been through a £3 million upgrade. The work was carried out by Southampton based Trimline. BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley has been onboard for a sneak preview, for our Solent by the Sea series.
