Ferry Ride Information & What to Expect

Embark on an unforgettable 85-minute cruise across the stunning Delaware Bay, where the enchanting shores of New Jersey meet the pristine beaches of Delaware. 

As you glide through these beautiful waters, keep your eyes peeled for historic lighthouses, quaint harbors, majestic oceangoing vessels, and a variety of native and migratory seabirds. You might even spot whales and playful dolphins accompanying your journey!

Set sail from our charming Cape May Ferry Terminal or the welcoming Lewes Ferry Terminal to begin your adventure. The Cape May – Lewes Ferry experience is just shy of an hour and a half. 

We recommend arriving 30 minutes prior to departure if you’re traveling without a vehicle, and 45 minutes early for those bringing their vehicles on board. While reservations are highly encouraged, we do provide a limited number of standby reservations, which can be easily obtained at the toll booths at either terminal.

Want a more relaxing experience? Arrive even earlier and take a break to enjoy one of the fantastic restaurants in either terminal. After you check-in at the toll booths, you will be directed to a loading lane, then once parked you are free to roam the terminal grounds including the Ferry Terminal building. Take a walk on the boardwalk or enjoy a lawn game or mini-golf (Cape May terminal only). 

Come create cherished memories with us on this breathtaking voyage!
