In St. Mary’s, the last check-in is 30 minutes before the ship leaves. Please be sure to be on time; unfortunately, we can’t offer any refunds or credit if you’re late.
If you have any large freight items that need loading aboard, such as a canoe or electric scooter, we ask that you report to the quay 2 hours and 15 minutes before your departure, to give the crew time to get everything stowed safely and securely. Please be aware that Penzance gets very busy on Saturdays and during school holidays, so please allow plenty of time.
