St Mary's Boatmen's Association
Our Ticket System
Our main ticket outlet is the Kiosk which you have to pass as you go on to the quay. This is always open from 09.30 – 10.15 and again from 13.30 – 14.00. Throughout the main season it will also be open from 10.15 - 11.15 and from 1600 - 1800.
Our other ticket outlets are at the Tourist Information Centre, Tideline and Douglas (Chemist) shops. Additionally tickets can be purchased at many of the hotels and guest houses.
For services that depart when the ticket kiosk is closed, tickets can also be purchased on the boat.
You do not have to book for a particular trip. Association tickets can be used on any of our services. If one trip is particularly popular we just bring in another boat to help out.
The return tickets will be punched on the outward journey and collected in on the return journey.
Most of our ticket outlets only sell "Direct Return" tickets. These can still be used on the circular sightseeing trips – you just pay the supplement on the boat.
If you buy 10 or more direct adult tickets you can save £1.00 on each ticket. Again, if you do a circular trip the supplement can be paid on the boat.
If the kiosk is not open, evening trips are charged on the boat.

Group Bookings
We can always cater for groups, both on our regular services or by providing a special boat if the regular services do not fit in with your requirements. It does help us to know a group's plans at least a day ahead so that we can fit it in with our planning. If your group is doing more than one trip we can "run a tab" for you and you just settle up with us before you leave. We will normally give large groups a discount of 10% off our published fares.
If you are planning to visit the islands with a group and want more information in advance, give us a ring.
Alternatively, just get in touch with us when you arrive and subject to weather and tides we will do what we can to fulfil your requirements.
