1. Create an Account on the Steamship Authority Website<\/h3>\n

Go to Steamshipauthority.com<\/a> and select \u201cNew User\u201d on the top left of the screen. Choose a username and password and click next. Add your contact details and I recommend checking the box for text alerts.<\/p>\n

2. Add Your Vehicle to Your Account<\/h3>\n

Once your account is created, you\u2019ll need to add your vehicle details \u2013 make sure you have your plate number, year, make and model to hand. The website will automatically calculate the dimensions based on the make and model you enter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can add multiple vehicles to your account. If you\u2019re bringing a rental car, skip this step.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Check Availability and Make Your Reservation<\/h3>\n

Click the \u201cBook Now\u201d tab and choose your desired departure and return dates. Choose the vehicle you\u2019re bringing from the drop down menu or select \u201cRental car\u201d. <\/p>\n

Note here if you\u2019ll have anything on your roof rack or if you\u2019re towing or carrying anything on the back (eg, bikes), as this affects pricing and availability.<\/p>\n

Enter your passenger numbers if you want to pay the fare now, or leave blank if you want to buy passenger tickets at a later date.<\/p>\n

Click continue and you\u2019ll see all available sailings on the ferry schedule for those dates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Using the Wait-list System<\/h3>\n

If your preferred sailing is unavailable, don\u2019t despair! The Steamship Authority has an excellent wait-list system. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select any available sailing (even if it\u2019s not ideal)<\/li>\n
  2. Scroll down to the yellow box that says \u201cClick here to wait-list\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Select your preferred date and time range for travel. Add yourself to the wait-list.<\/li>\n
  4. Choose how long you want to remain on the wait-list (can stay up to the day of travel)<\/li>\n
  5. If a spot opens up, you\u2019ll be automatically moved to your preferred sailing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I\u2019ve had great success with the wait-list when travelling on midweek days, even in the summer months. Weekend days are definitely more difficult. Watch the video for a more detailed look at using the wait-list feature.<\/p>\n

    According to the Steamship Authority<\/a>, they get around 90 same-day cancellations <\/strong>so there\u2019s always the chance you\u2019ll be lucky and get your preferred time slot!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
