Our Service - (Winter Service Weekends ONLY)

We run a waterbus service around the harbour. Whenever possible we run a timetable of two boats. As a small community business we are still recovering from the impacts of Covid-19 on our organisation. 

We are operating with a reduced fleet and are rebuilding our skilled team. Therefore, on certain dates we may be forced to operate a reduced service of one boat, (as updated in the Travel Updates banner at the top of the page).

We look forward to building back up to our pre-pandemic levels of service, please be patient with us as we do.

COVID-19

We ask that anyone who is feeling unwell, or has been in close contact with someone who has tested postive for COVID-19, does not board the ferry.

Please see our COVID-19 guidelines. Face coverings are reccomended for indoor settings.
