Lost Luggage

Interior of FerryUnfortunately there are times when you may arrive in Abaco and your luggage doesn't arrive with you*. After you go through the notification process at the airport, come on to the Ferry, your luggage will catch up with you. However we need to know you have lost luggage.

Albury's Ferry will bring your luggage to you on the Cays without charge, but you need to let the captain of your ferry know. He will issue you a "Baggage Claim Ticket" that you will present to claim your luggage when we bring it over.

* It is always a good idea to carry a small bag of essentials with you - medicines, solutions for your contacts, makeup (for Abaco?), toothbrush, bathing suit... enough to get by for a night should your luggage be late.

A Little Ferry History
Albury's Ferry began operation on February 18, 1959, the day the airport opened in Marsh Harbour. The first ferry was the "Junonia", a 40 foot Maine built lobster boat. The service was started by Marcell Albury with Ritchie Albury as the first captain. As the service grew additional boats were built of wood at the yards of Edwin Albury on Man-O-War.

The "Ferry" remains a family owned business today with Ralph Albury serving as General Manager. The switch from wood construction to fiberglass began 21 years ago. Today the fleet is made up of ten "Donnies", wide body fiberglass diesel powered boats built to Albury's Ferry specifications in Florida. Our latest, Donnie X, joined the fleet in the Fall of  2002. All ferries are semi-enclosed, licensed and inspected, and operated by experienced and licensed captains. Equipment includes life jackets, VHF radio, fire extinguishing equipment, and first aid supplies. The boats fall into four size catagories, 34', 39', 45' and 51'.
