Amity Trader

Why would you take the regular ferry to Coochie island, which costs $ 4 each way, when you can take the Amity barge for $ 2.50? I know the ferry has a more extensive schedule so obviously if only the ferry is running, then that’s your only choice. But otherwise I recommend the barge. It’s more fun and it felt faster.
Beware that there are no seats. This barge takes pedestrians and cars, but when we rode it, there were no cars, so you could pretty much stand anywhere. The ride is only about 5 minutes.
Coochiemudlo island is beautiful, by the way, and totally worth $ 2.50 each way to get there. Make sure you read the barge schedule carefully and ask the operators when the last barge runs, because the signage is not totally clear.
