Our ferries can hold a maximum of 10 passengers.
We have both a covered pontoon and an uncovered pontoon which we use alternately or in conjunction as appropriate with conditions. Our ferry is for passengers only; no vehicles are allowed on the ferry or on the island.
If we are experiencing lightning, we will not run until lightning has been gone for 15 minutes. Please wait in the Shore House or a cozy place when on Island.
