ferry boat
Channel-crossing vessel
A ferry boat is a vessel that carries passengers, vehicles, or cargo across a body of water on a regular route.
Ferries typically run between fixed points—across rivers, bays, or channels—where bridges are impractical or nonexistent: We took the ferry boat to the island.
Often shortened to simply ferry.
