Around the Islands

Each island (except Tresco) has its own boat company, so whichever island you are staying on determines which boat company you will use. For St.Mary's visitors, the St.Mary's Boatman's Association; St.Martins is St.Martins Boat Services, St.Agnes is St.Agnes Boating, and Bryher and Tresco guests are transported by Bryher Boat Services. Boating is always weather and tide dependent so there are no set schedules or timetables available in advance, all boat trips are advertised locally a day in advance on blackboards. Children's fares are generally half price and dogs are allowed on the boats, usually asked to be kept on leads.

You will find below an introduction to each boat company, with the names of the boats and fare guide for 2011.
