    Lovely Ride, Smooth Sailing

    I was on the smaller ferry and it takes an hour and thirty minutes to get across the sound but the time flies by when you are relaxing on the open deck. This ferry was easy to book and a really good price and it...More

    Beautiful early morning crossing

    Traveling from Providence to New London simple and efficient. The train drop off is across from the auto/walk on ferry. Nice to prepay the fare and have my passage scanned before getting on. Smooth sailing till we disembarked. Saved time and money crossing the Sound....More

    Affordable, Timely and Accomodating

    Headed out to Long Island to work the US Open and it was my first time taking my SUV on a ferry. Quick, easy, accurate and on the way home they even squeezed me onto an earlier boat.

    Trip to/from Long Island, from New London, CT.

    This was a quick and easy way to reach Long Island! We enjoyed seeing several lighthouses along the way.

    Orient Point for sure. You will not be in Hampton traffic. Your on the North Fork. The worst traffic you will be in is traveling in CT. Better to be as far up in Ct to avoid it.
