The world's longest running passenger hovercraft service runs between Southsea, Portsmouth and Ryde, Isle of Wight, in the UK. The locations of these hoverports has not changed much over the years, and nor have their terminal buildings. This page contains interactive Google Maps views of the hoverports and also links to Windows Live Maps oblique views of the hoverports.

Looking across the Solent toward Portsmouth from Ryde hoverport. Notice Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower in the centre of the shot? Southsea hoverport is 2/3rds of the way from there to the edge of the photograph.

Hovertravel's new terminal at Ryde. The previous terminal was a one-storey building in the same place.
