Just a 5.4 mile 40 min stretch is all. If you time it right where the wait is not long it's pretty fun.
The ferry operates from Currituck NC to Knott's Island NC. The trip is on North Carolina as their taxes pay for the service. From what I could tell it runs hourly, so they have two boats. There is a restroom and small shelter on the Currituck side. You will need to show ID prior to boarding.
The boat is pretty bare bones and holds around a dozen cars. There are two sides with seating that is climate controlled with vending machines. You can go partial top deck for a better view. If you notice a school bus on the pic it may seem out of place. The Knott's Island kids in MS & HS take it everyday to Currituck.
If your looking for an adventure this may be your ticket. However, keep in mind the landing points because it may be an hour, or more out of your way if your destination is Virginia Beach to the East in Town Center. read more
