The new operators of the Rathlin ferries, Charles and Dawn, are pleased (relieved!) to announce that the Spirit of Rathlin, the roll-on, roll-off ferry, is now back in service. The first sailing departed Rathlin at 9am this morning, Saturday 28th January 2023.

Vehicle bookings for today, Sunday and Monday only, can now be taken. For bookings after that, please ring from Monday when it is hoped that the full booking system will be restored.

Ferry Service Update

Friday 20th January 2023

Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, it has not been possible, within the given timeframe, to secure the services of an alternative vehicle ferry. However, an engineer's inspection of the Spirit of Rathlin has been completed and essential works on the boat will happen early next week.

Subject to a successful recruitment process, an MCA inspection is also expected early next week, allowing the Spirit of Rathlin to return to full service as soon as possible.

The new ferry operators have had to slightly revise the timetable for the Kintra II sailings: "These are temporary changes only. Timetable will revert when sailings can be covered by two boats, and there's 'more of a stretch in the evenings'! Further updates expected on Monday 16th January. Watch this space, and thanks for continued understanding and patience."

Revised timetable for Kintra II sailings:
