Ferry Company
Haig Point has its own private ferry company that transports its members, their guests, and employees to and from Daufuskie and Hilton Head Island. The Embarkation Center on Hilton Head serves as both a ferry terminal and parking lot, as no cars are allowed in Haig Point - members and guests travel via golf cart or bicycle.
The Haig Point Ferry Company has three large ferries (Haig Point I, II and IV), two smaller ferries (Osprey & Pelican) and two smaller water taxi (Haig Point III & Sandpiper). In 2007, as a part of the club's long-range strategic plan, the Haig Point IV (with a capacity of 100 persons, including crew) was built and is now an active part of the fleet.

Famous quotes containing the words ferry and/or company:
“This ferry was as busy as a beaver dam, and all the world seemed anxious to get across the Merrimack River at this particular point, waiting to get set over,—children with their two cents done up in paper, jail-birds broke lose and constable with warrant, travelers from distant lands to distant lands, men and women to whom the Merrimack River was a bar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... possibly there is no needful occupation which is wholly unbeautiful. The beauty of work depends upon the way we meet it—whether we arm ourselves each morning to attack it as an enemy that must be vanquished before night comes, or whether we open our eyes with the sunrise to welcome it as an approaching friend who will keep us delightful company all day, and who will make us feel, at evening, that the day was well worth its fatigues.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
