Freight Policies

Passenger Freight

Sayville Ferry Service strives to provide the highest level of service for all of its customers with safety being of the upmost important.

With this in mind, Sayville Ferry Service has a strict freight policy which all passengers must adhere to when traveling to and from Fire Island. While some of these policies may seem arbitrary, they have evolved through time for the overall benefit of our customers and vendors that support the communities.

Passenger Cargo

Each passenger will be limited to:

Two bags or suitcases [25 lbs. max]

All other items, when accepted, must be loaded on the ferry by crew and charged by weight and size prior to boarding.

Grocery Services

Please make every effort to package groceries in reusable bags or cardboard boxes. If needed, Sayville Ferry Service will repackage your groceries from delivery services [i.e. InstaCart or Shipt] with reusable bags for .25¢ a piece.

Please note that deliveries will not be stored in the Parcel Room due to produce and perishable items.

Parcel Room Policy

Sayville Ferry Service Inc. accepts parcels from all delivery services, provided there is no produce or perishables. The following procedures must be followed:

We will not accept packages 50 pound or more.
Customers must call at least thirty [30] minutes prior to ferry departure to schedule that parcel for delivery.
Customers are responsible for having exact change to pay for parcels when picking them up. Crew will not be responsible to provide change.
Parcels sent over and NOT picked up will be charged a $5 restocking/return fee.
The parcel room is not available for long term storage. You are responsible to make arrangements for your package to be picked up. Any package not picked after 14 days will either be returned to the shipper or charged a short-term storage fee.
