Sea Star EcoCruising is a non-profit society.
Every individual who uses our services must become a Sea Star Member.
Once you are a Sea Star Member, you can buy single tickets and passes, book a charter or the water taxi.
Sea Star Members may choose to purchase one or multiple Pass Packages (below) which are ONLY available for purchase between April 6 - May 31, 2024 and are valid June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025.
We have aimed to offer Sea Star Members a per-ticket cost savings, as well as a potential savings on tours and water taxis. We encourage you to purchase a minimum of one Pass to help support and sustain our transport service as a non-profit society.
If you do not purchase any punchcards or Pass Packages, you will pay the 2024 Base Fares for the season (see below).
The Piers Island Route may only be accessed by Sea Star Members who are resident of Piers Island and their guests. Guests of Sea Star Members must identify themselves with the valid Member's name and lot #.
Guests (including trades) must either have a Sea Star Member's punch pass in-hand or may purchase single-tickets online by identifying the Sea Star Member.
Sea Star EcoCruising Society is supported by volunteerism, donations, special events, and by voting and non-voting members. Only titled owners on Piers Island are entitled to be voting Sea Star Members. All other Members are non-voting.
All Members and their Guests must comply with public health and safety rules and Sea Star Policies. Our Skippers have the authority to refuse service to anyone for reasons of safety, behavior, or non-membership.
