ferry boats
Harbor passenger vessels
Ferry boats are vessels designed to carry passengers, vehicles, or cargo across bodies of water on regular routes.
The term is often written as one word: ferryboat.
Ferries typically operate on short crossings—rivers, bays, channels—where bridges are impractical or nonexistent: We took the ferry boat across the harbor.
The compound emphasizes the vessel itself rather than the service.
