Hello Everyone,

As you may have guessed, the NWA Ferry will not be running this season, sadly..

Due mostly to Covid 19, we have made a decision to focus on the other services we offer through North West Arm Boat Tours, and the McNab's Island Shuttle.

We want to assure everyone the Ferry will live on, and we have plans to make this a permanent fixture on the North West Arm in the years to come.

We also want to thank all of the riders, volunteers and supporters who have helped make this Ferry service possible, and who continue to support us as moving forward.

Should you like to get in touch with either cptn Tim or myself (cptn Dave), feel free to give us a ring on the office line at 902-425-1930.

If you would like to take a trip to McNab's Island or charter a boat this summer, give me a ring at 902-293-3821.

We had a wonderful season last year, and we look forward to seeing what 2021 has to offer!

Bye for now,
Sincerely, David & Tim
