BEFORE YOU COME ABOARD
A few useful answers.
Does my business need to be on the waterfront?
A practical walk from a ferry landing is the key. Tell us where you are; we’ll check the fit and describe the walk honestly.
Can I choose my terminal?
Yes—tell us which terminal makes sense for your business. We’ll confirm the placement and availability before agreeing to a package.
What do I need to provide?
A website, a short introduction, current opening information, your preferred link and photos you have permission to use. We’ll help shape it into the card and send a preview for approval.
What does it cost, and does it renew automatically?
We quote for the agreed terminal, placement, dates and content. There is no automatic renewal in these sample packages; we talk before continuing.
Can you promise visitors or sales?
We can agree to a specific placement and period. Visits and purchases depend on the audience and your offer, so we don’t guarantee them. We’ll be clear about any audience or reporting information available when we quote.
Is this a listing in TheVenue or TheEvent Guide too?
These packages cover TakeFerry only. Any future placement in another guide would be discussed and agreed separately.
