Timetable effective November 1, 2026. Published schedule dates: Nov 1, 2026; no end date stated.
Our next source review is due Nov 8, 2026; that is an editorial freshness gate, not an operator validity date. After a published end date we show times only from a separately reviewed schedule covering your travel date.
The early weekday crossing is marked Monday–Friday on the ticketing agent’s poster. Other departures are treated as daily in this transcription; confirm holiday service, current operation and your return with the operator.
Checking service updates…
Published times help you plan. They do not confirm today’s operation, available seats or boarding. Confirm your outbound and return with the operator.
Plan the way back
The return has its own timetable. Check it before you set out.
Before you board
Before you head to the dock
Ask when to arrive
Check the operator’s ticketing, luggage and boarding instructions. Arrival advice can differ by service, so use the guidance for your boat.
Look at the trip back
The return direction has its own timetable. Choose the crossing you want home before booking the rest of the day.
Give yourself another option
If you miss that boat, what can you do? Check any later service or alternative in advance rather than counting on a last-minute private transfer or room.
Recheck around holidays and events
Look for service notices around Carnival, regattas and holidays, especially if you have a connection to make.
