SAILING GLOSSARY

Ferry

A ferry is a vessel designed to transport passengers, and sometimes vehicles, from one shore to another or between two relatively close points. Ferries generally follow regular routes and can carry a large number of people. When recreational boating, it is important to take their route and limited ability to maneuver into account when you are in their path. In short, they have a schedule to keep, and so do we… but not necessarily the same one!
