ferry connections

Boat route transfers

Ferry connections are scheduled boat services linking ports, islands, or coastal points, or the availability of such services.

The term emphasizes the network aspect—how one route links to another or to other transportation: The island has good ferry connections to the mainland.

Travel guides list ferry connections alongside train and bus schedules.
