The ferry departs from Chester and services both Little and Big Tancook Islands. Visitors should arrive at least fifteen minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you have any questions regarding your sailing be sure to ask one of the friendly ferry crew for assistance.
There is short-term designated parking on Duke Street. For longer stays, visit the Tancook Island parking lot on Valley Road, Chester.
