Cape May-Lewes Ferry

From the restaurants and bars to the boat trip and the delights of Delaware... so many reasons to head for the ferry!

WHERE IS IT? In North Cape May, a short drive or shuttle from downtown.

WHY SHOULD I GO? Because it’s MORE than just a ferry – it’s where memories are made. This 85-minute voyage between Cape May and Lewes transforms a long drive into a highlight on your trip. Whether you’re heading south or crossing the bay for a daytime activity, you’ll see why this is a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice winner, ranked among the top 10% of attractions worldwide.

Bring your car and explore the Delaware shore, or board as a foot passenger and leave your vehicle in our free, secure parking lot. And if you prefer to explore on two wheels, bicycles always board for free, providing the perfect way to access the scenic trails of Cape Henlopen.

The journey itself is the main event. Sail early for brilliant blue skies or late for a romantic sunset. Make sure to keep your camera ready – there’s plenty of marine life to be spotted including dolphins, whales and seals.

Step aboard any of the three comfortable vessels in our fleet to find plenty of room to roam. Stroll the decks, browse the gift shop, or visit our outdoor Lido Bar for a chilled drink made by our top-notch bartenders.

Throughout the summer, check CMLF.com for info on events and excursions both on board and at our terminal.

INSIDER TIP Arrive early! The Cape May terminal is a destination of its own. Grab a table at Stowaways for food and drinks, take a stroll along our boardwalk, or play a quick game of mini golf.
