Hi. How long is the trip over and how long including queuing and boarding when taking a car? Is it quicker than the road as I can foresee time lost while waiting for the ferry etc. Ta.

Taken it a couple of times. Quick and very little queuing time. Middle of the day midweek both times

When I lived in Greenock there were 2 choices. Western Ferries and Calmac. Western Ferries were quicker from what I remember and if still operational may be cheaper. They also made crossings in rough weather when Calmac wouldnt. Western Ferries set off a bit outside of Gourock on the road to Inverkip and docked about a mile to the north of Dunoon whereas Calmac went Gourock centre to Dunoon centre if my memory serves me correctly. 

It's way quicker than the road.

Buy ticket in advance, a colleague got stung buying on the ferry.

...noting that Argyll Ferries are foot passenger/bike only.

Much quicker and less stressful than driving. Maybe 20 minute crossing. Did it a few weeks agi on a cracking Sunday and hardly any queuing really. Recommend it. U might even spot killer whales. A pod was spotted in the firth a couple of weeks ago

Thanks all.

Just need the OK to my request for time off work...

As said get ticket before boarding co-op shop here on way down. 21 Eldon st, Greenock PA16 7UG, or Pauls food 94 shore st Gourock PA19 1RB  or online http://www.western-ferries.co.uk/tickets-fares/buy-online.html
