About Isles of Scilly Travel

Isles of Scilly Travel runs the transport links to the Isles of Scilly by air and sea. It is a trading name of Isles of Scilly Shipping Company Limited and Isles of Scilly Skybus Limited, both registered in England and Wales. The registered office is in Penzance, Cornwall. The company says the islands sit just 28 miles off Cornwall's coast.

Skybus flies from Land's End, Newquay and Exeter to St Mary's. The company uses Twin Otter aircraft, and it publishes a flight schedule until October 2027. The site says Skybus flights from Newquay are suspended from 1 September 2026 until 16 March 2027, with services planned to resume in spring 2027. During that time, aircraft and crew focus on Land's End.

The Scillonian III is a passenger ferry that sails from Penzance harbour to the Isles of Scilly. Its replacement, Scillonian IV, is officially afloat and in the final stages of its build. The site says it is set to enter service in March 2027 and will carry 600 passengers.

Visitors can take day trips by sea on the Scillonian III, by air with Skybus, or by flying one way and sailing the other. The company also offers accommodation, including Steamship Flat, a one-bedroom apartment in Hugh Town on St Mary's. The islands include five inhabited islands, St Mary's, St Martin's, Tresco, Bryher and St Agnes, along with uninhabited islands. The website also has pages on experiences, events, walks and wildlife.

Customers can book air and sea travel online. Group bookings are arranged through a form on the website. Passengers with mobility needs can request assistance at least 48 hours before travel. Gift vouchers are available, and the company sends travel updates and special offers by email and text alert.

The company is part of a group that includes Isles of Scilly Steamship Group and Isles of Scilly Freight. Its service status page publishes weather advisories and disruption notices for sailings and flights. The company is active on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
