I'm sure the ferry will be quite a bit more but, it's a nice stress free ride across the bay. Personally I would spend the money and take the ferry.

You are already there being at Sea Isle and Cape May. We enjoy the ferry as it seems like a mini cruise. It does save time and gas. When you consider driving north to pick up 95 only to turn south again and pay $17.00 to cross the bridge, the ferry route makes more sense. chartrue2@aol.com 2 Retired • View posts Myrtle Beach, SC Senior Member Joined: 11/12/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/26/11 11:16am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Definitely the ferry. Also suggest you take advantage of the opportunity to reserve a place on the ferry for the sailing time you want. It costs an additional $5 but is well worth the peace of mind. It is possible you would arrive at the wrong time and not be able to fit onto the ferry on a first come first serve basis. Being in Sea Isle you will save time and enjoy the ride simply riding due south to the ferry instead of having to go both west and north to reach your destination. We've done it a number of times and the only times we were sorry is when we did not reserve our spot. Two young retirees restless to GO! Life is too short to wait too long to do all we want to do!!

The ferry is the way to go. It is pricey but we saw tons of bait fish and nine pods of dolphin on the way to Lewis.

The toll over the DM Bridge and the additional fuel cost would take a huge chunk out of the cost for the ferry. As mentioned above, it's a fun and relaxing trip. * This post was edited 07/27/11 08:23am by Ringer * 2008 Phaeton 40 QTH 2008 Saturn VUE Handbasket • View posts Asheville, NC Senior Member Joined: 01/17/2003 View Profile Posted: 07/27/11 07:21am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Expect them to tell you to turn off propane at the tank, and possibly to inspect the inside of your camper. They checked my RV once in four trips. All they did was look in the coach door, but it's a small RV. Jim, "Mo' coffee!"

(Frontier Town, Castaways, etc.?), but consider cutting over from Lewes to 113 south, rather than Rt. 1 (Coastal Highway). Along with the endless string of traffic lights in the Rehoboth/Dewey area and Ocean City, construction of the new Indian River Inlet bridge has traffic down to one lane each way 'til the end of this year or so. The 113 route is maybe 5 miles longer, but probably faster, and definitely less stressful.
