The Daufuskie Island Ferry service will be suspended beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, August 30 following the 11:30 a.m. departure. The 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ferries departing Buckingham and 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. ferries departing Melrose Landing are canceled.

They hope to resume service Thursday, August 31 and will confirm that as soon as possible following the storm and the assessment of the docks and boats.  Please keep in mind that the captain can suspend operations anytime it is unsafe to travel. This includes short delays for passing weather conditions.

Ferry operators have strict safety guidelines for operating in adverse weather conditions and unscheduled delays and cancellations may occur without notice.  

A note on parking: The parking lots at both Melrose Landing on Daufuskie and Buckingham Landing in Bluffton are in very low-lying areas and can be prone to flooding. We recommend not parking in these locations until the storm has passed.

Patrons at Melrose Landing are encouraged to move their vehicles as far away from the dock as possible within the parking area.

Patrons at Buckingham Landing are advised to move vehicles to the Daufuskie Island Visitors Center parking lot, located at Tanger 2 Hilton Head Outlets, 1414 Fording Island Road, Suite A190.
