Sea Star EcoCruising is a non-profit society. Every individual must become a Sea Star Member to access our services.
The annual Sea Star Membership can be seen as a service fee which supports the central operations of our volunteer non-profit society. It applies to everyone to gain access to our services, whether you are a one-time or frequent customer.
Our Membership is a valuable record of our impact and participation in the community, and provides support material to potential funders.
​
Once you are a Sea Star Member, you can book a tour, charter or the water taxi, and (if you are a resident of Piers Island) gain access to the Piers Island Shuttle service by purchasing a minimum of one of our many presale pass options by May 31, 2024.
​
After the purchase of a minimum of one punch pass you can choose to pay-as-you-go.
​
Sea Star EcoCruising Society is supported by volunteerism, donations, special events, and by voting and non-voting members. Only titled owners on Piers Island are entitled to be voting Sea Star Members. All other Members are non-voting.
