Except for the Skye Bridge, transportation from the Sleat Peninsula in Skye to the neighboring islands or the mainland is by boat or ferry. It is a 30 minute, scenic ride from Armadale, across the Sound of Sleat to the town of Mallaig. Service is provided by Caledonian MacBrayne, a ferry company established in 1851. CalMac has 29 vessels in their fleet.
