I'm sure that during the summer season this may change but the turn around times for loading and off loading are very quick and efficient. And the price isn't too overwhelming considering that swimming through the water with luggage would be much more difficult. Consider very strongly on getting a round-trip ticket if you're returning to the south fork after visiting Shelter Island.

A day trip to Port Jefferson…read moreThe trip its very relaxing and I can say the CT side port is cleaner more up to date and taken care of than the Port Jefferson side. There is plenty of room for a lot of people and the lower deck fits a lot of cars. The prices however are not that great, they used to charge the vehicles only but now each passengers have to pay additional. There was only one incident that took place, when arriving back at Bridgeport, KEN P was shouting at people to move/leave from the upper deck when the boat wasn't even open for passengers to leave. Very rude

Jefferson Ferry Experience…read more Wow--what an incredible experience! It was my very first time bringing my car onto the ferry, traveling from Port Jefferson (Long Island) to Bridgeport, Connecticut, and it couldn't have been easier. Booking was simple--I checked the website to see the schedules (ferries leave almost every hour) and ended up calling just two hours ahead to reserve my spot since it was my first time and I had a few questions. The staff was super friendly and helpful on the phone, and next time I'll definitely just book online. The cost was $74 one way, and you just need to arrive 30-15 minutes before departure if you're bringing a car. Boarding and unloading were seamless--everything is so well-organized. About 15 minutes before docking, they announce that it's time to return to your car, and within minutes you're driving off the ferry. The entire ride only took one hour, and it saved me from sitting in city traffic--I bypassed everything and saved so much time. I did the same thing on my return trip from Bridgeport back to Port Jefferson, and again, booking just an hour and a half ahead was no problem. Both times the experience was smooth, efficient, and honestly pretty amazing. If you've never done it before and want to escape Long Island for a bit (without battling traffic), I 100% recommend it. I only snapped a couple photos, but hopefully this helps someone who's considering it! Thank you to Walter and Dennis at the Jefferson Port ferry entrance for the kindness and hospitality.

The Chester-Hadlyme Ferry is a ferry operated by the State of Connecticut, which crosses the…read moreConnecticut River and connects the towns of Chester and Hadlyme. We had just visited Gillette Castle State Park and were on our way to Old Saybrook and decided crossing the river using this historic ferry was a fun mini detour! The ferry has been in operation since 1769 (it was known as Warner's Ferry at the time), and it operates April 1-November 30 daily. It costs $5 per vehicle on weekdays, $6 per vehicle on weekends, and $2 for pedestrians and cyclists. For a small fee (and a short wait if the ferry is on the other side of the river when you arrive), you can take this historic ferry path and get a great view of the Connecticut River and Gillette Castle on the hill above. Definitely a fun detour that I recommend if you have time!

I really wish there were other reasonable options for travel…read more Cherry grove staff are always so rude. This is my third time using the service here and they are super rude, rolling eyes YELLING at us. We were waiting on our friend who has mobility issues but in site. It was exactly 6:30 so they saw our friend. As I turn to walk onto the ferry, they shut the door in my face. Rolled their eyes to our friends in the other side and ignored us. Normally I'd read these comments and think maybe people were rude or didn't understand that time is time but this was a complete lack of empathy and understanding over 20 seconds. They split our party and then ignored us after and push past us. Is crazzzy! We dont mind the wait but refused to let our friend off or anything. (It's their first time)

You could either get a two way ticket ride from the specific destination booth or one way ticket ride if you can't decide from which part you'll be coming back from. We had the most accommodating ticket booth associate. She answered all my inquiries to my easy understanding. She provided me with brochures with map and information about the island and the ferry schedule. It was a short 20 minutes ride trip . It was a fun experience enjoying Long Island sound especially that we picked to sit on the top deck. Each end destination is about a mile apart . Hopping from one site to other is either walking along the ocean path or via water taxi. We went to Sailors Haven and enjoyed the vicinity and it's famous Sunken Forest . We walked along the ocean path to Cherry Grove and came from there going back. There is no ticket booth at Cherry Grove but don't be alarm, you just have to pay the fare at the exit booth. Definitely using again same service if decided to come back.
