We offer scheduled services from St. Agnes to the other islands every day.
We operate at least two services to and from St. Mary’s six days a week (seven during July and August).
We operate services to St. Martin’s, Bryher, Tresco and Samson at least once a week to each island.
Boating timetable
We offer a peace of mind transfer service from St. Mary’s to St. Agnes on your day of arrival to get your holiday started as soon as possible, and back again to St. Mary’s on your departure day to make sure you’re on time for your flight or ferry home.
Book ahead online when you’ve got the rest of your travel arrangements sorted, and we’ll be right there for you. Even if things don’t quite go according to plan and you experience travel delays from the mainland, by booking in advance we’ll make sure that we’re there to meet you when you do arrive. Why not book your Weekly boating saver fare at the same time?

Every Wednesday afternoon, we join forces with the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and offer a fantastic Wildlife Safari.
The guided two-hour tour takes to you to Annet, the Western Rocks and, sea conditions allowing, to the edge of the British Isles - Bishop Rock.
Spot Scilly’s splendid seabirds (including puffins at the right time of year, Shearwaters, petrels, cormorants and more) and our loveable-looking seals (we have the largest colony in the UK of Atlantic Grey Seals), and enjoy spectacular views of our Scilly’s wilder frontier. The Safari originates and returns to St. Agnes, but we will collect and drop off on St. Mary’s on request.

If you’re on holiday and have a special occasion to celebrate, which might include boating off island or a romantic trip, then we’re here to help. Just contact us with your request and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
If you’re staying on St. Agnes and you’d like to share a non-scheduled boat trip (a “special” boat taxi) then we offer an exclusive community boat sharing service to keep costs down.
Check out our Boat Share app to see who’s already booked a book and if the date and time suits you, then sign up too! Or get the ball rolling by booking your own specific boat and encourage others to travel at the same time to share the costs. The price to the individuals will be calculated on the day of travel.
If you’re a particular business or organisation seeking a reliable boating service at your fingertips for a one-off project or short-term research programme, please get in touch.
We work with a number of organisations including universities for student-led programmes, media film crews, the RSPB the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and archeological societies, and offer excellent daily rates and regular contract rates.

Spirit of St. Agnes has a passenger capacity of 80, whilst Enterprise has a capacity of 66. Both are available for bespoke contract work.
Rates start at just £100, for a part day, up to £300 for a full 8-hour day.Clients include the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, BBC Springwatch, BBC One Show, Countryfile, Royal Society for the Protections of Birds (RSPB), EE, National Geographic, Getty Images and Exeter University.
We have found that most clients prefer to carry out their research work and surveys in April and May or October and November. However, we do like to be flexible, so if you have any specific needs during the winter months please get in touch and we’d be happy to help you.
