Introducing Scilly Ferries

A division of Harland & Wolff 

Scilly Ferries, a division of Harland & Wolff Group, is a new ferry service launching in Spring 2024 operating between Penzance and St Mary’s on the Isles of Scilly.

Initially in early in 2024, you’ll be able to book tickets onboard our fast ferry Atlantic Wolff; a modern and comfortable catamaran. Sailing up to twice-a-day, it will operate to and from St Mary’s in a total journey time of around 90 minutes. Services are scheduled to begin in May just in time for the start of the Summer season and we anticipate running the service as late into Autumn as the weather will allow.

Kraken Marine Services is now Harland & Wolff Marine Services, the exclusive freight and logistics partner for Scilly Ferries. For more details, or if you’re looking to book cargo space now, why not visit the current their website by clicking here?

Then from 2026, subject to our successful bid to build two new vessels using levelling-up funds, we expect to be able to offer a year-round service for passengers and their domestic freight.

About Harland & Wolff
At Harland & Wolff, we’re passionate about designing and building ships for the cruise and ferry sector, and now that passion has led us to enter the ferry market as an operator under the brand Scilly Ferries. We’re now over 1000 people-strong with sites in Appledore, North Devon up to Arnish on the Isle of Lewis. And of course, here on Scilly.

Our strategy is clear; to offer a modern, reliable and value for money ferry and freight service for the residents of Scilly and those who visit. A service that puts the customer experience first; a service than you can depend on to carry you to the mainland or return you and your family members back home. We hope you enjoy sailing with us. Welcome aboard Scilly Ferries!
