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] She was built by Abels Shipbuilders of Bristol in 2009.
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]
