Whether you're crossing the Delaware Bay for a fun day trip or as part of a long-distance trip, on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry, your journey is sure to be a memorable one.Enjoy historic lighthouses, picturesque harbors, oceangoing vessels, unique seabirds and, just maybe, your very own dolphin escort!The 17-mile, 85-minute cruise between New Jersey and Delaware can cut miles off a trip along the Atlantic Coast, connecting points like Wildwood, Stone Harbor, Avalon, Ocean City and the rest of the Jersey Shore with Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Sussex Shores, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, Ocean City, MD, and destinations throughout Virginia.Our welcoming, modern terminals are a destination in and of themselves, with enjoyable restaurants and lounges, and well-stocked gift shops!
The trip over to Cape May was uneventful but it's always great to get out on the water. Smooth sailing on calm waters. The trip back to Lewes was a bit more exciting on several levels. The wind and tide gave us that pleasant rolling stride (yup, waves) and the fog/rain kept the views to a minimum. Then! Captain announced "whale sighting port side" and he slowed down, did a circle and we all had a chance to see small whale fins cutting thru those waves. What fun! I would also commend his docking...not sure how he spun that big boat around like twirling a gal on the dance floor (nice job). Note: they are in process of upgrading all the boats but, if you have a chance, choose the Delaware ... more comfy than the New Jersey we rode on trip to the Cape.
