Sailing times are roughly 2 hours either side of high tide but view the Timetable link for more details. We carry up to 12 passengers and there is plenty of room for pushchairs and prams. If you are cycling we can take bikes and well behaved dogs are always welcome. The crossing takes 7-8 minutes and our volunteers will help you on and off the ferry at each side.
