While we work on establishing a new timetable with Transport Scotland, no future bookings will be available until at least 30 June 2020 when an updated timetable will be confirmed. Read our update in full.

All islands will receive a regular lifeline service ensuring essential goods and services are delivered. 

COVID-19 Update

Due to the Covid-19 situation the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) have agreed to temporarily relax its rules on passengers being able to stay in their vehicles during some ferry journeys.

This means that passengers can now stay in their cars when travelling from Berneray to Leverburgh on all sailings.

Due to the Essential Lifeline Timetable currently in place, the opening hours for ports have changed. Please check the new opening hours here

As of Saturday 28th March we will no longer be accepting cash on our ferries and at ports in response to concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic. See here for more information
