Our Timetable alters mid-way through the season, so please make sure you
consult the correct schedule.
UNDISCOVERED SCOTLAND REWORD:
No visit to Shetland can be complete without a visit to the magnificent
Mousa Broch. But there's a catch:
Mousa Broch is on an island a mile off the east coast of Mainland
Shetland about 15 miles south of
Lerwick.The solution lies with Mousa Boat Trips, who for 35 years
have been carrying visitors across the Sound of Mousa to Mousa and its broch.
The vessel in use today is the Solan IV and can carry 60 passengers. The
original Solan in 1971 could carry just 12.
Mousa Boat Trips operates from the well signposted Sandsayre Pier, at
Leebitton in Sandwick.
Mousa Boat Trips operate from April to September each year with one or
two services each way each day - weather permitting.
The crossing takes about 15 minutes. The timetable changes mid season each
year, so it is important to check times on the operator's
website. This is also where
you can find information about current fares. Booking is advisable, and it
is recommended to check ahead by phone to ensure adverse weather has not
prevented that day's sailing.
