Sea Sickness
People rarely get seasick on an open RIB. Traveling at speed you avoid the motion sickness you can experience on ferries. On our RIB you are closer to the sea, with very little rolling motion. You are also sat in the open air and you can always see the horizon, which really helps!
Can I purchase gift vouchers or merchandise?
Yes, a range of vouchers are available, and merchandise can be bought from our online store as well as our shop at Tiree Airport
