An important reminder on the validity of your Turn Up and Go tickets
Turn Up and Go tickets are valid for the season in which you've purchased them. They cannot be amended and cannot be used outside the timetable period you have bought them in. They are also non-refundable. Please do keep this in mind as we approach the winter timetable period on 21 October 2024. 

20 September - 12 October
Following a review of vessel deployments for annual overhaul, MV Loch Bhrusda will be redeployed to the Sconser-Raasay service once MV Lochnevis returns to the Small Isles service. MV Loch Riddon will operate until MV Loch Bhrusda arrives. During the period where MV Loch Bhrusda operates, MV Loch Riddon will operate as/when required.
Due to a smaller vessel operating vehicle capacity is reduced. Customers preferred sailing times are not guaranteed.
