To Our Customers;

We are moving vehicles again

Reservations may be made online or by phoning the office.  

Bristol Parking;

The yellow parking tags will NOT be good after July 3rd @ 5:30pm.  Please call the PI Office if you need a reservation to bring your vehicle over to Prudence.

The parking on the ferry dock will continue to be reserved for permit customers only.   Once the construction project is completed, the town of Bristol will be renumbering the spaces to decide what is available for daily parking. You may contact the Bristol Harbor masters Office regarding permit parking or daily parking.

For more information on parking or reservations, call the PBIT Office. For more information on the Dock Repairs, call the Town of Bristol. 
When booking online if your vehicle is under 1 ton and over 18 ft., you will be defaulted to a 20 ft. truck fee. If your truck is under or over 20 ft. and you would like to pay the exact fee, please call the office at 401.683.0430 during phone hours, or upon arrival your vehicle may be measured and your fee adjusted.

Welcome!

Prudence & Bay Islands Transport was formed by Prudence Island residents to provide transportation needs to and from our island and other bay islands. What makes us different is we know what it’s like to leave by boat every day to go to work or school. We know what challenges there are to running a business on island and scheduling supplies to be brought over. And we know how important it is to keep to a schedule.

Captains Cards

Prudence & Bay Islands Transport is pleased to announce the use of Captains Cards.
This is a rechargeable card that can be used to make reservations online, over the phone or in person, as well as purchasing ticket at the office. If you have an online account for reservations, the Captain’s Card can be attached and will be remembered so you do not have to input your card information every time. The Captain’s Card can be purchased at the Prudence Pier Office and recharged at either office or over the phone. They will make excellent gifts. No expiration dates.
