Sandbanks Ferry will not be operating from Monday 7 November to allow for the 23 year old vessel Bramble Bush Bay to have its annual refit.
This year the work is being undertaken at Poole rather than Southampton so the closure should only last about three weeks.
Bournemouth-Swanage bus route 50 will have a special timetable for a Bournemouth-Studland service via Swanage.
