Need a Ride ?
NOTE: (I AM NOT AVAILABLE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2026, my apologies)
Spring Beach Ferry provides water taxi and light transport services on the inland sea area of Lake Champlain, VT. We ferry small groups, campers, day trippers, and sightseers between local docks, state parks, and private camps. Please call or text with any questions. We recommend reading the information section for helpful tips.

Our boats are operated by Captain Mark Sperber. Captain Mark is a USCG licensed captain for up to 6 passengers at a time. He is an experienced sailor as well as a licensed powerboat operator. He grew up around the New Jersey shore area and has spent over 30 seasons camping and living on the islands of the Inland Sea. When not working, he can often be spotted on the water flying a hull on one of his catamarans or fishing in the early morning.
Attention Burton Island Riders: (Due to the outage of regular park ferry (Island Runner) in 2025 we can provide transport on a scheduled basis. Always check with the park first as the Island Runner will cost less, carry more, and is a short ride). ​​

While quite capable, Spring Beach Ferry is not an 'all weather service' and may temporarily suspend operation due to high winds or storms. Although fine for dockside use the boat is used primarily for "wet" landings on rocky beaches. Seating is open and exposed to spray and rain . Small groups and couples with modest amounts of gear are well suited to use our services, although we can handle larger loads with multiple trips (cost per person is the same). Rates Burton<>Kill Kare is $50 per person round trip (cash, check, or venmo) - don't pay unless ride happens.
