ticket purchasing, and luggage/freight check-in.
For passengers only: At least one hour prior to
departure.
For vehicles going to the island: At least 1.5 hours
before departure (please see your confirmation).
For freight: If you have more than a few bags and a tree
stand, plan on being here more than an hour before departure. The more
items you have, or the more difficult they are to handle = earlier
arrival time.
Luggage/freight:
Any items (i.e. tree stands, firearms, luggage, etc.)

50# of luggage/freight is included with your passenger
ticket. We must be able to be put the items on our luggage racks - if
not, the items will be charged separately. Excess items/weight will be
charged at $0.07 per pound or charged per item. Some items are here.
