Temporary off-season timetable. Operator’s stated dates: Jul 26, 2026–Oct 31, 2026.
Source checked Sep 7, 2026. Our next source review is due Oct 7, 2026; this is not an operator validity date.
The 5:30 AM departure is published for Monday–Friday only. The dated joint notice and Transportation Services timetable include it; Varlack’s text omits it. Confirm this early crossing directly.
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
Ferry-day rules of thumb
Use an operator-confirmed arrival margin
Check current ticketing, check-in, luggage, and boarding guidance directly instead of relying on a universal minutes-early rule.
Plan the return before the day
Outbound and return crossings are separate schedules. Pick your return boat first, then build the day backward from it.
Protect the final workable return
Confirm the current return service and keep a fallback that does not depend on an unverified private transfer or available room.
Confirm on holiday weeks
Carnival, regattas, and holidays shift schedules. Confirm directly with the operator before a tight connection.
