piers island SHUTTLE


Picture
The Piers Island Shuttle Group contracts our company to provide regular services to Piers Island, a private island of over 100 households, located near Swartz Bay.

Annually, the boat carries over 1,500 passengers over 300 sailings. Water taxis and light cargo runs carry 100's of other passengers and literally tons of luggage, groceries, furniture, appliances, building materials, etc. each year.

Members and their guests use Punch Cards to ride the Shuttle. Over 90 Island lot owners have purchased one or more Punch Cards (each costing $110 including tax for 10 one-way trips) from the Piers Island Shuttle Group.

Please be aware that Islanders without these Punch Cards, or the general public, no longer can simply pay cash as walk-on passengers.

Card holders can purchase additional Cards onboard from the Shuttle's skipper, as and when required. Please note that these Cards are valid only for the period June 1, 2018 to May 31st, 2019.   They are not redeemable for cash.  

 
All sailings are available to Shuttle Cardholders, their visiting friends, relatives and workers as walk-on passengers. Reservations are not required.

Your support in the pre-purchase each year of the Shuttle Punch Cards ensures the viability of this valuable service to islanders and their visitors. For membership information please call: Pauline Olesen 250.655.4812 or Velvet Warrior 250.655.1101.
