About the MV Loch Ranza

The MV Loch Ranza, Loch Raonasa in Gaelic, serves the small island community of Gigha from the port of Tayinloan on the Kintyre peninsula. After a few years on the route between Lochranza and Claonaig, she was transferred to her current role and has been a faithful servant for Gigha for 30 years.

Relax and enjoy the ride

Onboard the MV Catriona you can find a ship perfectly tailored for a short, comfortable crossing. Relax on our snug passenger lounge (accessed from the car deck, furry friends welcome) or take a seat outside on our deck and marvel at the natural beauty of Scotland’s landscape as it gently drifts past.
