The Islander is a roll-on/roll-off ferry owned by the States of Guernsey and operated by Brittany Ferries on services connecting Guernsey in the Channel Islands to Portsmouth, England and Saint-Malo, France. Built in 2005 as the Dueodde for Bornholmstrafikken, she has since seen service with StraitNZ as Straitsman in New Zealand between 2010 and 2023, before being sold to both the States of Guernsey and Condor Ferries under a joint venture as Condor Islander. The vessel was renamed Islander in 2025, following the company's majority takeover by Brittany Ferries.
