Sailing with MARC

Their busiest port

Three things the timetable does not say

67% alone of their network has no rival at all. On those 22 crossings the question is not who is quicker — it is whether you sail. A comparison site showing one result is not showing you a choice.

11 beaten crossings where another operator is quicker on the same water. Their own site cannot tell you this, and a booking engine sorted by price will not.

Where they are beaten

Which months they sail

Season not heldwe can say when we looked, not which months run

Our records for MARC crossings were read on 11 August 2026 and describe the network as it ran that week. We hold no month-by-month variation, so this page cannot tell you whether a crossing runs in February.

If you are travelling well outside August 2026, confirm with the operator before you plan around it.

Where our records stop

No fares. Every comparison on this page is time and frequency only, and the fast-versus-conventional decision is mostly a price decision.

No departure times. 0 of 33 crossings carry a weekly rate; none carry a clock.

No vessels. We hold a fast/conventional class and no ship names.
