Cumberland Sound Ferry Service


Cumberland Sound Ferry Service takes passengers from Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida to St Marys in Georgia. The service is available in spring, summer and autumn on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, departing from Fernandina Beach at 10am, 1pm and 4pm. The ferry leaves St Marys at 11am, 2.30pm and 5.30pm and passengers are requested to arrive 20 minutes before departure for both journeys.

Tickets can be purchased from the Marina Office in parking lot A at the Fernandina Harbor, and the boats depart from here alongside the ramp closest to the walkway. The journey enables passengers to see some wildlife including dolphins and sea otters. They may also catch sight of a submarine heading back to the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.

It is recommended that passengers bring along outer garments when taking the journey in spring and autumn as well as sunscreen and sunglasses on sunny days. There is no food served on the boat but soft drinks are available and passengers can also bring their own beverages. Both destinations have many interesting historic places to visit such as the lighthouse at Fernandina Beach and the Submarine Museum at St Marys.
