Passenger FerrIES to Scolt Head Island

Two passenger ferries operate during the summer months carrying passengers to and from Scolt Head Island and Gun Hill. These are not part of The Boathouse and we recommend contacting them independently for information on times they are operating, this is tide led and normally 2 hours either side of the high tide in daylight hours.
