How to Find The Packet Boat

Please arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled departure. This gives you time to find parking, use the restroom, and be ready to board at departure time.

1. Meet near the flagpole

Wait near the flagpole. From here, you’ll have a clear view of the public passenger dock and should be able to see the boat when it arrives.

2. Walk to the public passenger dock

Use the ramp to the public dock and turn left at the bottom.
