Toft Ferry Terminal
About
Found on Shetland, Toft Ferry Terminal sits at Toft ZE2 9QT, United Kingdom, on the main road north through the islands. The terminal serves the crossing to Yell, the stepping stone to Unst, and its position makes it easy to reach from Lerwick, Scalloway, Brae, Whalsay and Bressay.
For anyone heading north from Lerwick or arriving from the outer isles, Toft is the point where the road meets the water, and the terminal handles the ferry traffic that keeps those connections running. A 4.7 out of 5 average across 35 reviews reflects steady use by travellers who depend on this link. Yell lies directly across the sound, and Unst beyond it, so the terminal acts as the gateway for the northern isles.
Opening hours are not fixed, as sailings follow the timetable published through http://www.traveline.info/, where times for the crossing can be checked before setting out. Toft ZE2 9QT places the terminal on the A968, the road that runs north through the mainland to the ferry point.
Shetland's summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, so booking ahead helps on popular crossings, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather. Brae, a village a short drive south, has services that make a useful stop before or after the crossing. The terminal is a working link rather than a destination, and its role is to move people and vehicles between the mainland and the northern isles.
