The Butley Ferry

The Ferry will be operating from Saturday 19th April 2025 until Sunday 12th October 2025.

Operating hours

The ferry runs on Saturdays, Sunday and Bank Holidays only, between 11.00am and 4.00pm

Mid week openings are available to pre-booked groups. A minimum of one weeks notice is required and it does rely on a volunteer being available. This cannot be guaranteed. A minimum charge of £30.00 is made for this service.

We may not operate in strong winds.  Please call ahead to check we are able to operate.
