Pentland Ferries

Pentland Ferries is a family run business, owned by Andrew and Susan Banks who established the business in 2001. Currently the company own the MV Pentalina. The company owned the MV Claymore for 7 years before selling it in April 2009 and the MV Pentalina-B was sold in December 2009 after being owned by the company for a total of 12 years. The new purpose built catamaran, MV Pentalina, took over the Pentland Firth route from the MV Claymore on her arrival in Orkney. The catamaran will provide an even faster service and a greater carrying capacity reducing the crossing time between St. Margaret's Hope and Gills Bay to under an hour.
