Boarding
- For sailings on weekends and between 10:00am and 2:10pm on weekdays - please be at the wharf 20 mins before the stated departure time. Once boarding commences, we depart when full, which may mean that we go early.
- For commuter sailings, please be at the wharf five minutes before the stated departure time to avoid late running compounding onto the boat's next sailings. In order for the boat to depart on-time, we are required to pull the gangway up one minute before departure.
- If you're travelling with a bike, please be ready to board your bike at least 10 minutes before the departure time so we can depart on time.
