Ravens Ait operates two 11-seater boats that run shuttle-style service throughout events, plus can arrange a 50-80 seater boat for guest arrival (subject to availability). The ferry journey takes 30-45 seconds, and there's no waiting time as boats run continuously back and forth.

Music is allowed until 11:45 PM, and all guests must vacate the island by midnight. Outside DJs, bands, and entertainment are permitted. These timing restrictions apply to all events regardless of type or size.
What deposit is required and when must it be paid?
A 50% deposit is required to secure any date if the event is within 6 months. All dates are secured on a first-come, first-served basis, and Ravens Ait cannot hold dates during the consultation period without a confirmed booking.

Parking information is available in a separate document provided by the venue. For high-profile events, VIP guests can arrive discreetly. The venue can accommodate special arrival requirements and works with clients to ensure smooth guest logistics from mainland to island.
