Be one of the first cars or pedestrians to ride the Ferry as it returns to service after a three year repair and restoration!
A $100 donation for cars and passengers or $20 donation for pedestrians (dogs are free) gets you a ride on the Ferry before the official Grand Re-Opening and Re-Dedication on Friday night. Help us to pay down our $40,000 remaining debt.
Pre-registration and pre-payment are encouraged. Head to our GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-the-bemus-pointstow-ferry) and put in your donation. You may ride anytime between 4 – 9 pm. (And if you turn around, we will bring you back for free.)
The first 50 pre-registered cars or pedestrians will receive a nice Ferry logo reusable bag with many Ferry related items.
Those without a pre-registration are also welcome if space available.
