On a day when the wind was gusting at upto 55 knots, the Pentland Firth was in full flow, and the Northlink Ferries Hamnavoe was diverted via the longer inshore Scapa route, the Pentalina was rock solid - no roll noticed, and only the merest of pitching, vindicating once more the choice of the robust catamaran for this service. The voyage was smooth, on time, and fast, with the usual rapid embarkation / disembarkation process.
the lounge seats were comfortable.
The ticket price was attractive ,and well worth it considering the delays on the other route.

No problems at all from booking to rerturn. Crossings calm. Would recommend. Gills Bay end toilets could do with sprucing up a bit though.

Catering is rather basic, especially for early morning crossings.

A super way to travel to Orkney, have been travelling to Orkney for 40 years but first time we have travelled on the new Pentallina, very smooth trip and lovely scenery.

Professional and effective business. Sailing on time. Food not in high quality.
