Good to know

Do I need to arrive early if I already bought a ticket?

Yes, most operators require vehicles to be in the boarding lane 30 to 60 minutes before departure. Walk-on passengers usually need to clear the gate 15 to 20 minutes prior to sailing. Late arrivals risk losing their reserved spot to standby commuters.

Are pets allowed on ferry crossings?

Policies depend on the specific line and duration of the trip. Many passenger ferries allow leashed dogs on exterior decks, while vehicle ferries often require pets to remain inside your personal car during the transit. Always check specific carrier rules before arriving at the terminal.

How much do passenger and vehicle ferry tickets usually cost?

Short commuter water taxis often cost under $10 per passenger. Longer vehicular crossings to islands typically range from $20 to over $100 depending on the size of the vehicle, the number of passengers, and peak seasonal pricing.
