Happy 4th of July Weekend! Summer is in full swing at the Boat Company. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Below, please find a few tips and reminders that will help everyone have as smooth a trip as possible. Things can get pretty hectic on the Stonington dock this time of year.

PRO TIPS for ALL PASSENGERS (residents and ticket book holders too!)

FIRST--park your car in front of the ticket booth and buy/charge tickets, pay for extra bags (first 2 free per ticket holder), parking passes, etc. COUNT your bags before you come in.

The ticket booth personnel need to keep an accurate count of passengers for each trip.

SECOND--proceed onto the dock, stay to the LEFT of the yellow dotted line, and look for guidance from our dock managers about where to unload.
When in doubt, pull up close to the shed and unload your luggage there.

Traffic on the dock in the summer can get very busy. Garrett, Lee, and Dan are happy to help you. The best thing you can do is ARRIVE EARLY.

Luggage boxes are loaded 30 minutes prior to departure (sorry we can't load a late luggage box as we need to have the boat in position for passengers). Please arrive ONE HOUR early if you are using a luggage box*.

Helpful Hint--if you think you'll need two carts for your things, use a luggage box!

*NO luggage boxes/freight on the 10 am boat. If you travel on the 10 am boat and want a luggage box, we will send it down on the 1:30 boat.
