Cape May-lewes Ferry Cape May Terminal

What a cool experience you can take your car, kids and dog on board and it's so simple! The ride goes by much quicker than you expect and it was so easy and stress free. There are food and drinks on board, a bar, and great views! If you're thinking of taking a day trip do it! We ate lunch in Lewes and visited the Dogfish head Brewery!

The ferry is great, convenient, and pretty and all but the system for booking has been broken since at least last year which makes a ton of people not allowed to get on the ferry they booked. If there aren't enough tickets for that day, sometimes the system still shows as available and it books you. But the date on the actual ticket is the wrong day. Example: I booked a ticket for June 22, it says June 22 on the confirmation webpage. But when they email you the actual PDF ticket it says June 21. So when you show up on June 22, they tell you they can't take you and you have to wait on standby for the next available ferry. This is the THIRD time this has happened in a year, and because of their booking mistake, you'll have to wait on standby for the next available ferry, which could be 3 hours on a busy summer weekend. Ask anyone else on standby, I've met at least 10 people who this has happened to too. I've spoken to the ticket booker and manager directly and they've told me they know it's been broken since at least 2023. It's still happening in 2024 that they are selling tickets that don't exist and wasting your time. So be careful, check your PDF emailed ticket right after purchase, take a screenshot, and call them immediately if the date is different from what you just booked and *hopefully* someone will actually help you

On a warm summer day in August, you just can't beat a ride on this ferry. Honestly, it was even better than lying out on the beach for me. The boarding process was organized, efficient, the ferry interior was clean, there were drinks and snacks onboard and lemme tell you the restrooms were dang nice. I know, not what you look for on a ferry, but hey, we're all human. A reasonable 80 minute ride from Jersey to Delaware on a boat with three levels from which to watch the water, and clear views of the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic? Not too shabby. If you're lucky, you might even spot a couple of dolphins frolicking in the waves, like we did. There are state parks on either end of the ferry as well, so you have recreation options once you disembark straightaway. $100 for a round trip with a car and two passengers in August. Highly recommended.

They run this so well! It is well organized and everyone is so friendly. I was nervous about driving my car onto the ferry for the first time but it was a breeze. I do mean everyone was so nice. The minute you drove onto the lot they were helpful. The boat ride itself was very enjoyable and the seats were comfortable. This is the only way to travel to and from Delaware!

This is a great experience. Almost every time we are in Cape May we ride the ferry. Usually we just ride to the other side and hop on the next one back. It's peaceful and relaxing and great for a day out. Every ferry has a little cafeteria and a gift shop. There are plenty of places to sit and you can even drive your car on. I recommend a sweater because it can get quite chilly.
