Your first ferry trip, made simple

A little preparation makes the journey easier: check your pier, pack lightly and keep your ticket close.

Leave room for the journey

Choose a route that gives you time to explore. Check which pier you depart from and how you will reach your accommodation on arrival. A short ferry ride can connect two very different island experiences.

Pack for a comfortable crossing

Keep your booking details accessible, bring water and sun protection, and follow crew instructions. Check baggage limits with your selected operator and allow a buffer for onward connections.

Explore with care

Support local businesses, respect marine life and leave beaches as you found them. Check weather conditions before arranging boat excursions.
