Isles of Scilly: Travel to the Islands
Passenger Ferry to the Scilly Isles
Sea services to the islands are provided throughout the main tourist season by the passenger ferry, Scillonian III.
She sails from Monday to Saturday (and occasionally on Sundays), usually leaving Penzance at 09.15am and arriving in Scilly around 12 noon. The 2hr 40 minute journey gives passengers an excellent opportunity to take in sites along the coast such as Lamorna Cove, Tater Dhu Lighthouse, Minack Theatre and Land's End, and as you sail westwards towards the islands it is sometimes possible to see porpoises and the occasional whale!
Scillonian Sailing Dates for 2013 are Monday 25th March to Saturday 2nd November
