Isles of Scilly - St Mary's Boatmen's Association

The St Mary’s Boatmen’s Association is a co-operative of owner operators based at St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.

Skippers each own their own vessels but share out the provision of services and the revenue generated.

Boats run between the five main islands, out of St Mary’s and on demand, with no need to book in advance. Association boats also go to uninhabited Samson, Bishop Light & Western Rocks, Norrard Rocks and Eastern Isles. Trips run in the evening to follow gig races and to St Agnes for supper.
