My wife and I were heading out to take the Ferry the morning of October 11th 2023. We arrived early and were waiting to board. Then our morning took an unexpected turn, I passed out. Frantically my wife called for help, and folks from the port were there in moments. EMS arrived and got me stable again. I had never passed out before. My blood pressure had crashed. I didn’t want to go to the hospital (what guy does?). I wanted to try to eat and catch the next ferry. But when my pressure dropped to 81/54 about 30 minutes later, my wife convinced me that I should go to the hospital. Heath Gehrke, from the port drove us to the hospital with in minutes. Then made arrangements for the police to pick us up when the hospital released me. Officer Kyle was there waiting for us and brought us back to the port. These amazing men as well as others at the port were simply amazing and so helpful, I felt so blessed to be in such a place that where the scariest moments of our trip, we were lifted up and provided for above and beyond anything we expected.The next morning we boarded the first Ferry, and the experience was wonderful. These folks know how to run a ship, but mostly they know how to care for their customers. I would highly recommend the Lewes Ferry.My only regret, I should have gotten a picture of my wife and I in the police car! That would have been a fun story to our grandkids.

First time taking the ferry to Cape May NJ. Easy onboarding process (walk on passengers). Gift shop and concessions are reasonably priced with a bar and monitors around the passenger area.

A very good option to go to ocean city if you are traveling from NJ … kids liked it too. It is about an hour and 15 mins sail from cape May to Ocean city MD . Easy booking … costed ok - we paid about 37$ for our van and 10$ per person .Ferry had lots of seats inside and outside the deck . I really liked the push back seats ?.. very comfortable . They also have a gift shop and a small cafe with coffee and some snacks . There is also a bar on the 2nd floor. Very organized . Very comfortable . Had to wait an hour to board .. restaurants inside the ferry terminal weren’t that good . Overall a good experience…

Arrived on motorcycles. Getting checked in was easy, crew was helpful in us parking and leaving the ferry. Nice choice of beverages and food. Plenty of seating in and out doors.

For nice ride. I'm impressed with how professional and orderly everything went. The crew and associates know what they are doing. Car is put on and off in an orderly fashion, and as long as you, the driver, pay attention, it is loaded quickly. We had beautiful weather and very calm water. Absolutely wonderful.

Made up of three vessels - the MV Delaware, MV New Jersey, and MV Cape Henlopen - the ferry is a super simple choice to save a 3- or 4-hour drive if you are on either side of the service points. Obviously you might already be located near a service point, but if you are not, this is still a great option for some road trips to either avoid the DC area when making the coastal North South run or perhaps to get to the DE beaches with a stop in AC or Cape May if you are coming in from NJ.Booking online is super easy. Per the website, "Reservations are required and crossings frequently sell out throughout the summer." The recent I-95 collapse in Northeast Philadelphia isn't going to help to plan any last minute ideas.The process itself is pretty flawless. You check in, show ID, and wait. You need to be there at least 30 minutes before boarding, and I would get there an hour ahead of time. You can leave your car, assuming you are driving, while you wait and go inside and relax (which I have never done).Otherwise, drive on board, leave your car, and find a comfortable spot to enjoy the trip. The few times I have taken it the waters were always smooth except for the last time when there was a gentle roll. I am sure there are times when it gets a lot more rough, but I cannot imagine they would run under truly bad conditions, so you need to take that into account as well for planning.

I used to live in NJ. I used to take the car ferry to vacation with my family in Ocean City, Maryland many years ago. In 2021 I took the walkon ferry from Cape May to view homes in Delaware, when I decided to move from NJ to Delaware. My realtor picked me up from the ferry to view over many homes until I finally bought one. I finally closed on my new home in Delaware in September 2021. Most recently I took my Audi on the car ferry to visit my family, relatives and friends, who still live in NJ. A standard vehicle under 20 feet costs between $25 to $32. Larger vehicles cost more. Passengers cost $6-$8 per person. The car ferry is very convenient compared to driving from Delaware to northern NJ or NYC, which takes much longer or almost 5 hours. They partially renovated the four car ferries namely the Delaware, New Jersey, Cape May and Cape Henlopen. They plan to replace these four older large car ferries with four smaller car ferries. The ferries have lots of staff to keep the ferries clean. You can purchase food, drinks, or gift items from their gift shops. All car ferries have at least two bars including one inside near the food court and one outside on the upper outside deck. Two armed police officers maintain the peace on the ferries.The Cape May and Lewes ferry terminals have free parking lots if you want to travel on the ferries without your vehicle as walk-ons. Walk-ons must go through a security checkpoint. The two story terminals also have elevators, brochures, restrooms, restaurants, full bars and coffee/snack shops. They also have outdoor seating. Overall I like the car ferries, because they are convenient and enjoyable especially during the warmer weather when you can hang out on the outside decks.

There is a women with long curly brown hair who is so mean and nasty we will never travel the ferry again. She screamed at everyone as she guided the cars in. She should not be working with people. This is the second time we had her and she is always mean and nasty. She really upset our child with special needs so we will be driving around in the future. Terrible.
