The Rules

  • Parties of 10 or more must check with the captain before taking a scheduled boat, as space is somewhat limited.
  • Passengers with significant baggage who arrive less than 15 minutes before boat time risk missing the boat - don’t forget to leave sufficient time to park your car.
  • Passengers should assist the Island crew in boat unloading.
  • Maximum weight limit for freight is 35 pounds per item, unless you load and unload yourself.
  • Freight information and rates are available from the captain.
  • All baggage, groceries, etc. must be labelled with the cottage name so the caretaker and Island crew will know where to deliver items.
  • All items must be packed in durable boxes or bags - no paper bags please.
  • Heavy freight, such as washers and refrigerators, must have prior confirmation from the captain and caretaker.
  • No heavy freight can be accepted on the commuter runs without prior confirmation from the captain.
  • The caretaker will meet the Friday night 9:30 PM boat only if notified before 6 PM.
