Please read up on How to Successfully (and properly) book a boat to Dover Island.

1- Check extended forecast for potential weather

2- Organize a group who will commit to showing up the day of (cost is still $15/person round trip and $75 minimum group charge)

3- Call Norm (823-3339) 3 days ahead of time. Not 24 or 12 hours. If you don't reach him leave a detailed message. He checks his messages regularly.

4- Check weather forecast again. If the weather forecast looks promising go to (5). if not go to (6).

5- cross your fingers and pack your things

6- If you decided to cancel have the courtesy to call Norm back to let him know you will not be coming


Hope this helps you in your venture to the island.

Remember that Norm is providing us a service on his own time. It is not a service to be expected or demanded... it is a privilege. Please note the minimum boat charge of $75.00 and please call Norm a couple days ahead of time.

NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON NORMS PROPERTY/ BOAT.
