Overview - Shuttle
Shuttle Boat Schedule & Operations
The shuttle ride is only ~5 mins from Mamquam Beach to the island. In order to maximize occupancy and keep fuel expenses in check (and membership costs low), the shuttle boat will run one hour on completing as many trips as possible, with 30 mins off schedule. To catch the shuttle arrive anytime during the scheduled hour of operation.
Last shuttle back to the mainland is 7pm. Staff are always on standby, but there are no operations on windless days.
Check our website to make sure staff are on duty.
Thank you for your support!
It’s been a very challenging start to the season for access. But it’s been awesome to see everyone share their stoke on the water, and the community come together to make the most of what’s started out as an amazing wind season. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
