A ferry captain is the officer in command of a ferry—a vessel that transports passengers, vehicles, or cargo across a body of water on a regular route.
The role combines navigation duties with passenger safety responsibilities, typically on shorter crossings than ocean-going ships: The ferry captain announced a brief delay due to fog.
