Bald Head Island ferry rates going up

BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — A trip to Bald Head Island will soon cost more. After months of legal wrangling, an agreement filed with the state Thursday will raise ferry tickets from $16 to $23 starting January 1. That’s five dollars less than Bald Head Island Transportation, Inc., had requested.

The excess baggage rates will also go up, as will annual passes. The ferry will no longer have senior passes or student tickets.
