The Foula Ferry provides a link to Foula from Walls, on Shetland. The journey takes about two and a quarter hours and operates two to three return crossings per week from the island.

In common with the Fair Isle Ferry, the Foula ferry boat is lifted out of the water between crossings, by means of a cradle.
