MV Red Jet 3 is a passenger catamaran ferry operated by Red Funnel on their route from Southampton to Cowes on the Isle of Wight along with sister ships Red Jet 4, Red Jet 5 and the currently-under construction Red Jet 6. She was built by FB Marine Ltd on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom and entered service in 1999. Red Jet 3 is currently the only vessel in the fleet built by Red Funnel in England, although she will lose this distinction when Isle of Wight-built Red Jet 6 enters service.
