Travelling to the Isles of Scilly on Scillonian III is an experience unlike any other. From watching dolphins play in the Atlantic waters, to looking out for puffins and other birds with those trusty binoculars and that moment where you see the islands for the first time as you sail in… it is a trip that creates memories to treasure.
Another wonderful thing about travelling by Scillonian is that it offers a way to access the islands for the day that is great value. Our usual day trips give 4hr 30mins to explore, try some delicious food, and soak up the peaceful tranquillity of island life.
Dotted throughout the season are a selection of dates giving you even longer on Scilly. Whether it be an early or double sailing day, these are opportunities to make even more of your time on the islands and explore at a slower pace with up to eight hours leisure time.
