MV Clyde Clipper is a cruise boat, a purpose built catamaran with a capacity of around 250 passengers and facilities for weddings, functions and corporate hospitality, including bar and catering facilities.[2]
From 30 June 2011 it was leased by Argyll Ferries Ltd as an interim ferry on the Gourock-Dunoon service, covering the service along with the MV Ali Cat until the 244 passenger ferry MV Argyll Flyer is converted from the ten year old Banrion Chonamara of the Irish Aran Island Service.[3]
