The council operates the local Jura, Luing, Easdale and Port Appin–Lismore ferries, each with its own timetable and boarding arrangements.
Jura is reached from Port Askaig on Islay, so most visitors first need a separate ferry to Islay. Luing is connected by a short vehicle ferry from Cuan, while Easdale and the Port Appin service are foot-passenger links.
The Lismore passenger ferry reaches the north of the island and is distinct from CalMac’s Oban–Lismore vehicle route. Choosing the correct service changes both the mainland approach and the island transfer.
Consult the council’s route page for payment, fares, assistance and any service changes. Short crossings can still have breaks or limited evening sailings.

Using this local ferry network
Begin with the named departure and arrival piers. Argyll and Bute Council Ferries services may use different ticket arrangements from the large international ferries shown elsewhere on FerryEU. Use the official timetable for the sailing date and check whether a reservation is needed.
Do not assume that every connection runs daily or that an island boat carries cars. A circuit calling at several islands can take different times in each direction. Check intermediate stops, last return sailings and any requirement to request a call or book in advance.
Where a crossing is part of a longer trip, plan a road alternative or a flexible overnight stop. Weather and vessel maintenance can affect smaller networks, and a separate train, hotel or ferry booking may not be protected if a sailing is cancelled.
Before you pay for a Argyll and Bute Council Ferries ticket
Check the full journey on the quote: departure and arrival ports, dates, local times, passenger names and the category of every vehicle or bicycle. A route listed on an operator’s network map may have restricted sailing days or a different passenger product from its other services.
Review the included accommodation, luggage arrangements and whether meals or reserved seats cost extra. Ask about boarding assistance and pet capacity before payment. For local ferries, find out whether an online ticket reserves space or is simply valid for the operating period.
Save the carrier’s check-in instructions and recheck service updates before setting off. If a sailing changes, contact the company shown on the confirmation or the booking provider that sold the ticket. FerryEU cannot access or amend a reservation made with another service.
