A smaller vessel then her immediate predecessors, but judged successful none-the-less, Snaefell served the many ports to which the Company then operated.

In April 1881, she was involved in a collision with the Osprey off Douglas Head.

In August 1892, she was making passage to Ardrossan from Douglas in hazy weather, when she collided with the Norwegian vessel Kaleb.
Both ships were damaged, but the Snaefell was able to continue to the yards of Fairfield & Co. under her own steam for repairs.
The subsequent repairs cost £1,298 (equivalent to £142,195 in 2019).

A legal wrangle then ensued, and finally the High Court in Edinburgh held that both ships were to blame.

The Royal Netherlands Steamship Company, who had bought Snaefell (I) and had successfully operated her for 13 years, sometimes chartered Snaefell (II).
