Can I take my kayak, canoe, surfboard or paddleboard on the ferry?

Yes, these items are carried free of charge. If you're a foot passenger travelling with a bike, kayak or similar equipment, or if you're a vehicle passenger with a bike or roof rack need to let us know you're bringing one with you when you make your booking online. This information helps us manage capacity, and lets you know if we have space on that particular sailing.

Any customer wishing to ship a kayak, canoe, surfboard or paddleboard that is not vehicle mounted is required to be able to lift their own kayak, canoe, surfboard, paddleboard on to and off the vessel. Our vessel crew will indicate where it is to be stowed on the vehicle deck.
