Shared on the company's TikTok account, the video, posted on Monday (11), has so far amassed 685,000 views.
It shows worker Fern hilariously imitating a video posted by model, Alla Bruletova, in which she stands next to a pink car and repeatedly pronounces 'Mercedes'.
In Wightlink's video, Fern, can be heard saying 'Wightlink ferry' — or 'HWightlink ferry'!
Fern's funny take is captioned 'Come jump on a ferry to the Isle of Wight, you know you want to....' .
It is inspired by fellow TikTok user, Tyler Butterworth, who posted his own version with military vehicles.
At the time of press, Wightlink's video has 49,000 likes and more than 500 comments.
Commenting, one person said: "WL ferries social media team NAILED this! wooo!".
While another, with 440 likes, said: "Ticket costs the same as a Mercedes, too".
In response, Wightlink replied: "If only that were true, then we'd all be rolling round in a Mercedes." That comment has 547 likes.

Fern, who lives on the mainland, may be a familar face to Wightlink passengers.
In her former retail role, she previously served teas and coffees onboard the ferries.
She is now part of Wightlink's marketing team — and you can certainly see why!
Her colleague Lisa edited the footage to make the TikTok.
