It was a long time ago. They were fun though, and on a good day you got from one side to the other so quickly. Smaller ones still run to the Isle of Wight.
School trips by ferry remind me of school days (Berry's or Harding's Coach from Taunton to Plymouth then a Britanny Ferry to Roscoff and on to St Brieuc).
At least one crossing to Roscoff was very rough. I remember a night crossing Portsmouth - St Malo to go off and do work experience in France too. Character building experiences!
I love the photo of the hovercraft!

Oh, I didn't know about the Isle of Wight hovercraft. Looks like I'll have to make a trip of it
Something to whet your appetite.

I did that Plymouth - Roscoff crossing a few times before heading to Dinan. It could be rather unpleasant on a rough day.
