🚢 Final Sailing Day of 2025 🚢

Today marks the last sailing of the season for the Lough Swilly Ferry. A huge thank you 😊 to all our wonderful customers who travelled with us over the summer, it has been our absolute pleasure to welcome you onboard.

We’ll be taking a well-earned break over the winter, but don’t worry, we’ll be back sailing again in 2026 and we look forward to seeing familiar faces, and new ones, when the ferry sails again next year.
