Welcome to the crew!

Next Steps:

  • Half of your retreat ticket price (less the $300 deposit) is due Friday Feb 4th, 2025. (Payment info will be emailed to you.)

  • Balance is due by Friday, April 4th.

  • We’ll start a group chat so we can all keep in touch.

  • See the travel info below.

  • A week beforehand, we’ll send out a tentative timeline for the retreat, so you can plan ahead.

Travel info

  • You’ll be taking the ferry from Montauk. It’s a 3.5-4hr drive from NYC so make sure you give yourself plenty of travel time.

    75 minute ride, $90 round trip

    Purchase your tickets ahead of time HERE.

    This ferry does NOT allow cars, but you can carry bikes on.

    *NOTE: There’s ONLY ONE FERRY THAT LEAVES DAILY so don’t mss it!

  • You’ll be taking one of the ferries from Point Judith, RI

    〰️

    High Speed Ferry:

    30 min ride, $51.00/passenger round trip, Bicycles $16 round trip

    Purchase your tickets ahead of time HERE.

    〰️

    Traditional Ferry- my personal fave:

    55 min ride, $23.60/passenger round-trip, Bicycles $7 round trip

    Purchase your tickets ahead of time HERE.

    If you plan to bring your car over on the traditional ferry, VEHICLE RESERVATIONS must be made ASAP.

  • You could either take the Point Judith Ferry like the RI folks (see info above), or the Block Island Express from New London, CT.

    90 min ride, $65.50 round trip

    Purchase your tickets ahead of time HERE.

  • It’s not necessary. The island is very small and easy to get around! We’re staying a 5 min walk from the ferry, and there are ample taxis in town in case we need them.

    Last year, everyone brought or rented bikes, which was a fun way to see the island.

    I will be bringing my car for ease of transporting larger belongings from the ferry, and so that we have access to at least one vehicle during our stay.

  • We recommend taking the earliest ferry you can on Friday 6/6/25 in order to take part in the programming scheduled for Friday afternoon/evening.

    For your return ferry, check-out is at noon on Monday 6/9/25, but we may hang around in town/at the beach for a bit. As much as you’d love to never leave the island, factor in the sailing time and driving time back home.

    • If you booked a vehicle reservation, you must arrive at the ferry terminal to check in your vehicle 1 hour in advance of sailing time.

    • All other travelers are recommended to leave enough time to park their vehicles and wait in line to purchase their ferry tickets prior to boarding. It is recommended you leave yourself at least 45 min-1 hour prior to sailing time to arrive at the ferry terminal.

  • Most ferries have parking lots nearby for $10-15/day- refer to the above links based on which ferry you’re taking.

  • Yes.
