Answer 1

You need to get the Southampton Central train station which is right in the centre.  There are a number of different ferries you can catch - if you dont have a car, then the best would probably be the red jet (its the fastest one, only for foot passengers)

Its not that close to the train station - Getting the bus should be straighforward enough - I dont know the numbers to get I'm afriad, but just ask someone at the station - you'll need to get to Town Quay which is where the red jet sails from.  Should cost about a pound I think for a single.  A taxi would cost more like £4

The boat is quite expensive (its the most expensive ferry crossing in the world)...a single will cost about £13, return about £18.
