Ferry Service

The scheduled weekend and bank holiday ferry service commences at Easter and then runs on all bank holiday weekends until Whitsun, then every weekend through to the end of September although it should be noted that at low tide there will not always be sufficient depth for us to run the usual hourly service. Times of crossings will be well advertised in advance, and you will be updated onboard

It is not necessary to pre book your seat on the ferry, but it should be noted that it is a first come first served basis.

The scheduled ferry service operates at weekends and bank holidays only, leaving Wallasea on the hour and leaving Burnham at twenty minutes past the hour.
