The Ben-my-Chree set sail for Heysham in Lancashire at 08:45 BST, with the Mannanan due to sail to Liverpool.
Ronaldsway Met Office warned the conditions would continue to put coastal areas at risk of flooding until 15:00 BST, particularly at high tide.
Promenades in Castletown, Douglas, Laxey and Ramsey and the Gansey area in Rushen were said to be most a risk.
Severe gales over the Irish Sea led to the cancellation of all of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's daytime ferry crossings on Wednesday.
