TO INSURE AVAILABILITY OF CRUISE, RESERVATIONS ARE HIGHLY SUGGESTED
Weekday trips in June and September can be scheduled with advance reservations.

See our detailed ferry schedule for exact arrival and departure times at Star Island as well as walkabout and lunch/dinner trip "itineraries."

Note: To accommodate people who wish a longer daytime stay on Star Island, it is possible to purchase tickets on different island tours. For example passengers may choose to depart Rye at 7:30 AM on the Early Bird trip and then get picked up at Star Island at 3:30 PM on the 2 hr. Island tour. All trips except for the Lobster Trip stop at Star Island. (Please note the 2:30 Isles of Shoals tour only stops at Star to pick up or drop off passengers, no walkabout is available on this trip.) Fares for combining trips are calculated by adding the two respective fares and subtracting $3.00. Overnight guests and employees of Star Island are eligible for discounted fares.
