FERRY RESERVATIONS WILL OPEN IN JANUARY OF 2024

Making ferry reservations usually happens when the Steamship Authority opens up its booking system in January of the coming year.

We encourage you to make your ferry reservations as soon as you can. This will mean either sending in a letter ahead of the opening or waking up at 5:00 am to make the reservations online. We choose the wake up early as it prevents any office mistakes. It is up to you to choose the correct path.
