Pentland Ferries
Launched in the summer of 2001, Pentland Ferries is a family run, attractively priced ferry operation providing a non-subsidised passenger and freight/cargo service between the ferry port of St Margarets Hope on Orkney and the port of Gills Bay on the Scottish mainland. Pentland Ferries offer an attractive alternative route to Orkney; a short crossing time, less than an hour long, and the opportunity throughout the crossing to see a wide selection of local wildlife including seals, porpoises, killer whales, puffins and other sea birds.

Onboard Facilities
In March 2009 the Pentalina fast catamaran was launched. This ship can carry more than 30 cars and over 250 passengers. From the sundeck and two lounges you can enjoy fabulous views of Orkney in comfort.
Previously Pentland Ferries had used two vessels, the M/V Claymore and Pentalina B, which offered the traveller panoramic views from the lounges and a snack bar. The catamaran Pentalina has replaced the em>M/V Claymore.
