You will find the Western Isles Ticket Office on the Old Pier just off the main street. The trip to Inverie takes about 30 – 45 minutes depending on which boat you catch. The first and last boats of the day tend to be on the faster boats, taking about 30 minutes.
The MV Western Isles is a traditional wooden passenger vessel with toilets and a bar on board. This a very special vessel that you can walk all around and fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery up the Loch. It does take a bit longer but the trip is well worthwhile.
