The number of people travelling by ferry between Guernsey and Jersey in summer has risen by 75% on the year before, according to operator Condor.
The firm said it carried more than 15,000 passengers between the islands this summer, up on the 8,766 it carried at the same time in 2023.
Condor said 1,000 more people travelled to and from Guernsey from the UK and France this summer, a 2% increase on the year before.
It said "the altered summer schedule was a contributing factor" as well as increased capacity "thanks to Condor Islander's first summer in service".
It added the number of car bookings had "returned to pre-Covid levels".
Chief executive Christophe Mathieu said: "The success of this summer, coupled with positive indicators for the shoulder months and into next year, offers optimism that 2025 could be a good season."
