No Motorbikes (Scooters) On Ferry to St. Georges

I am looking at a new 2013 Ferry schedule and it looks like you are Not able to take your motorbike from Dockyard to St. Georges on the Ferry. I had read on previous posts that this was possible??? Did this change?

I'm surprised. Perhaps it's a typo.

This doesn't sound right -- many Bermudians take their scooters on the ferry, it's not just the tourists.

It just occurred to me that it could have something to do with the ferry they're leasing this year for the Dockyard-St. George's run. Perhaps there's no place to park the motor bikes on this boat.

 

Edit: looking at the layout of the ferry, I think I may be right:

I think njhorseman is right - I recall them mentioning in the media the ferry that will be making the Dockyard-StGeorges run this summer will be the leased ferry, which probably does not have space for scooters.

It doesn't say how long the ferry ride is to St. George's. does anyone know?

Sorry, I found the information elsewhere - 40 minutes-ish

I called the ferry office.....and no one seemed to know. They asked me to call back after April 15th and they hoped to have more information then. I will post again after the 15th when I call them back.

Does anyone know if you can take the scooter on ferry to St. George? If I can't, then I will rent scooter in St. George and return at Dockyard.

Just got off the phone with the ferry office... NO scooters on the Dockyard to St. Georges route.

Does this apply to the mobility scooters as well?

No motor scooters permitted on the Dockyard- St. George's ferry last week but I saw a few wheelchairs. I would guess a scooter needed for mobility issues would be permitted. The crew and ferry staff always boarded those in wheelchairs before everyone else.
