"The ferry Island Sky runs just 10 miles across the mouth of British Columbia's Jervis Inlet, 65 miles northwest of Vancouver.

The result is a beautifully functional and safe vessel built to the highest standards." (Read More)

Outer Banks Ferry System

​

"The Swan Quarter ferry is actually the longest of the seven North Carolina routes, and travels 2.5 hours across the quiet North Carolina mainland to Ocracoke Island. The closest "big" towns to Swan Quarter include Bath, Washington, and Belhaven, which makes this route one of the most secluded in the Outer Banks. As such, the route generally only has between 2-4 crossings per day from either side, which typically run from the early morning hours to about 4 or 4:30 in the afternoon." (Read More)
