Shetland's essential boat trip
Thanks to all our customers this season in what was our first year running the ferry service to Mousa. We have met so many interesting people from all over the world. It's been such a pleasure introducing many of you to Mousa and the 2000 plus year old Ironage broch for the first time and meeting others who make the trip as often as they can.
Our amazing storm petrel trips at dusk where you can experience the simmer dim at it's best, watch the return of the petrels from their feeding grounds and as they greet their partners, listen to the incredible churring noise of their call fill the air.

Our one hour Mousa sound cruises were also very popular starting at the Stevenson pier at Sandsayre and heading down towards the Burland broch then across the sound and down the West side of Mousa hearing local history all the way before returning to Sandsayre.

Then there was our charters to Noss where so much wonderful footage was obtained of the gannet colony and their feeding frenzy, the artic skuas, black guillemots, artic terns, oyster catchers, fulmars and many more, as well as viewing spectacular cliff sceneary.

We will be available for some other charter work until mid October.

We are now taking charter bookings for our 2018 season. Please e-mail us with your requirements.

Welcome Aboard!

We can promise you a warm welcome aboard the Mousa Boat on your journey to explore the enchanting island of Mousa. With its magnificent Iron Age broch and wonderful wildlife this really is the perfect place for visitors to experience the essential nature of Shetland.

We operate regular sailings and tours; a Daytime Island Trip and a Late Evening Storm Petrel Trip, or if you prefer something more leisurely we also run fascinating Short Cruises around the local waters. Whichever sailing you choose, and many do both trips, please don’t leave it to the last day of your visit to Shetland as all sailings are weather dependent, and we know you wouldn’t want to miss the experience of visiting Mousa.
