island ferries
Inter-isle boat service
Island ferries are boats that transport passengers, vehicles, and cargo between islands and mainland ports.
They range from small vessels serving remote communities to large car ferries on busy routes: The island ferry runs twice daily in winter.
In places like Greece, Scotland, or the Pacific Northwest, island ferries function as essential public transit, connecting communities that would otherwise be isolated.
