island ferry
Inter-isle boat service
An island ferry is a boat or ship that transports passengers and vehicles between an island and the mainland, or between islands.
The term emphasizes the route rather than the vessel type—ranging from small launches to large car ferries: The island ferry runs twice daily in winter.
We took the island ferry to Martha's Vineyard.
