Pentland Ferries Ltd - Ferry to Orkney

Pentland Ferries are Comfortable

• Pentland Ferries much shorter Gill’s Bay-St. Margaret’s Hope route, just 15 miles long, takes the ship across the part of the Pentland Firth that is least exposed to adverse weather/high waves

• Only about half of Pentland Ferries 1-hour voyage is on the Pentland Firth, the remainder within sheltered and scenic Scapa Flow, whereas almost all of NorthLink’s 1.5 hour crossing is in open seas

• During adverse weather the incidence of sea-sickness is less likely where time spent in the open sea is: a) less than 1 hour, and b) in less exposed sea areas
