Our Story
Proudly serving Sark with a lifeline ferry service since 1969.
The Isle of Sark Shipping Company
"Safe, reliable, friendly & efficient."
The company is owned by the isle of Sark and since 1969 it has been the only operator of the year round lifeline passenger and cargo service between Guernsey and Sark.
​
The 9 mile journey between Maseline Harbour in Sark and St Peter Port Harbour in Guernsey takes about 35 minutes on the Corsaire de Sercq and 45-55 minutes on the Sark Venture or Viking.
​
The majority of the 50,000 return passengers carried on our vessels each year are visitors travelling to and from Sark.
​
The main season runs from April to October but regular passenger and cargo services continue to operate during the winter months, enabling both visitors and residents to travel to and from Sark all year round.
Meet the Vessels
Sark Shipping currently operates 3 passenger and cargo vessels. Over the years the company has had 123 ferries in its fleet!
