Why travel by ferry from Oban to Isle of Mull?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Oban to Isle of Mull ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Isle of Mull. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Oban to Isle of Mull is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
On the train, bus or plane, it is often very complicated and sometimes impossible to travel with this cumbersome companion: your bike. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Oban-Isle of Mull crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Isle of Mull.
So you don't have to worry about the amount of luggage
One piece of luggage is free, all the others have to be paid for. This is often the formula used when we travel with other modes of transport, which very often leads to a significant increase in the bill. For the Oban to Isle of Mull crossing, as long as all your luggage is contained in your car, no supplement is required. If you are travelling as a pedestrian, the conditions may be more restrictive as you will need to carry your luggage with you until you arrive in Isle of Mull. However, it is advisable to ask the crew of Caledonian MacBrayne, as luggage lockers are often provided for passengers to store their luggage during the crossing.
For the comfort of a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Oban to Isle of Mull by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. While their use is most obvious on an overnight crossing, it is perfectly possible to book one during the day.
