Until the end of the Summer 2026 Timetable

We have published an updated summer 2026 timetable. Throughout this timetable there are fewer morning sailings every Sunday. This allows us to carry out pre-emptive maintenance and care to the vessel, carrying out the tasks that cannot be done when in service.

Please plan ahead before you travel.

Customers are advised that our booking system has been updated until Wednesday 17 June. We will shortly begin work on bookings from Thursday 18 June. Bookings are currently available as normal and we'll be in touch with any affected customers once changes have been completed.

View the summer 2026 timetable operating from Wednesday 15 April.

Additional sailings

As a result of a new summer 2026 timetable for Ardmhor - Eriskay, during periods of significant disruption we can operate additional Sound of Barra request sailings. This will support with capacity for customers travelling to/from Lochboisdale and Castlebay. We will update the Ardmhor – Eriskay Service Status Sailings tab when they are available to be requested.
