Wight Sun joined the Wight-class fleet on the Yarmouth and Lymington service. Her two sisters, Wight Light and Wight Sky entered service on 25 February 2009. In July 2015, she was transferred to the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route as a relief ferry. Wight Light, which was the relief ferry after St Helen was withdrawn, transferred back to the Lymington to Yarmouth route in its place.
