Oban to Craignure Ferry

Caledonian MacBrayne (Calmac) run a ferry from Oban to Craignure (Mull) which takes 50-60 minutes each way.

There are normally TWO ferries on the Oban-Craignure route during the summer season, providing an extended service with ten sailings in each direction on weekdays, and eight sailings on Sundays. Some variations apply. See Calmac for timetable and fares.

Booking for your car is advisable at all times, and essential in the peak season. Book as soon as you can; bookings can be changed later if necessary. You need to check in at Oban pier 30 minutes before sailing time.  Travel Times & Distances on Mull

Pedestrians are not normally required to book, but you can book on line, and it may be a good idea if you're travelling by public transport. Tickets can also be bought on arrival at the ferry terminal. Pedestrians must board ten minutes before sailing time.

Planned delivery of two new ferries has been delayed. So Calmac is short of ferries across the network. One of the Mull ferries may be relocated periodically to meet this shortfall, with consequent changes to the timetable. If you've made a booking that is affected by such a change Calmac will notify you with a change of booking.

The information below is provided as a guide only, and you should check with Caledonian MacBrayne for exact timings and bookings (reservations). It is also now possible to book on line.   Tel: 0800 066 5000 / 01631 566688.

Lochaline to Fishnish Ferry (Summer)

The ferry runs from Lochaline in Morvern to Fishnish on the east coast of Mull (about six miles north of Craignure).

This route is convenient if you're coming to (or leaving) Mull from/to the North. e.g. Skye, Fort William, Inverness. If you're travelling from/to the South or East it's about 35 miles further to Craignure than via the Oban ferry, but you might save some time as the crossings are shorter.

Note that there's an additional short ferry crossing at Corran. This is run by Highland Council. No booking, just turn up and go. There can be queues at busy times.

The information below is provided as a guide only, and you should check with Caledonian MacBrayne for exact timings. Tel: 0800 066 5000 / 01680 340258.

No booking, arrive at least ten minutes before sailing time.  Times & Distances on Mull
