Access to ferry sched between Klaipeda and Smiltyne(Curonian spit)

Hi friends . Planning a trip to Baltics for May 2026… tried multiple platforms and as of yet unsuccessful to reach website for ferry btwn Klaipeda and Smiltyne . It gives me the access denied message for keltas.lt

Any hints tips or another website I should be trying to use for ferry schedules. Know I can book sooner but want to confirm times of day and days of week for ferry in mid to late May.
Help?

TIA,

I can‘t help with that specific question, but I took this ferry in August without any pre arrangements. No problem at all. It ran all day, in daylight every 30ish minutes. Just bought at the ferry itself. The trip is very short. Cost ~25€

Bonus info: there is a booth to enter the curonian spit a few minutes after leaving the harbor. A car entry to the spit itself costs another 50€ - a bus trip would have been much cheaper and fairly frequently served…

The keltas website works for me.
But there are two ferries- the one from the more central old terminal every half hour, and then the one from the new terminal a bit south, every 20 minutes. In my experience everyone treats it as a turn up and go service, not something you need to book.
On the spit there is a pretty good bus service.

Totally runs on Sundays, it's a 7 day a week service. Sunday seems to be quite a busy day for people to go over to the spit on their day off.
The big difference is the old terminal is foot pax only, the new one is vehicles as well.
The old is around 7am to 9pm, the new is about 6am to nearly midnight.
