Question 2

How do I get to Shelter Island by car service?

Accepted Answer

Shelter Island is accessible only by ferry. North Ferry runs from Greenport (North Fork) and South Ferry from North Haven (near Sag Harbor). Detailed Drivers coordinates ferry timing — your chauffeur drives onto the ferry with you aboard, or meets you on the island side. Ferry crossing takes 10 minutes.

Question 3

Does Detailed Drivers coordinate ferry schedules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your chauffeur times arrival at the ferry dock to match the schedule — North Ferry runs every 10-15 minutes in summer, South Ferry every 15-20 minutes. Ferry fare is included or billed separately depending on vehicle. No waiting in the wrong line — your chauffeur knows which ferry to use.

Question 4

What is the difference between Shelter Island car service and Uber?

Uber and Lyft do not reliably serve Shelter Island — the island is too small for rideshare drivers. Detailed Drivers provides guaranteed, pre-booked transportation with ferry coordination included. Your chauffeur arrives on the island with the vehicle.
