Online ferry ticket aggregator
Direct Ferries is the world’s largest online ferry ticket aggregator. Founded in 1999, it sells ferry tickets on behalf of companies like P&O Ferries, Stena Line and Brittany Ferries.
Our investment is helping Direct Ferries grow its network of ferry companies and invest in its global ticket distribution capability. We’re also looking at international expansion with the Asian and US markets earmarked as potential future growth areas.
As part of the transaction, Beauport Partners, led by Greg Wills, will also be investing and providing strategic support to the Direct Ferries management team. Wills was the co-founder and CEO of Rentalcars.com (originally named TravelJigsaw) which is now part of the Priceline Inc Group. Livingbridge invested in TravelJigsaw between 2008 and 2010 and are delighted that Direct Ferries will now be able to benefit from the world class e-commerce expertise of Wills and his colleagues in Beauport.
