Enjoy this ferry. I had a 9:00 appointment, showed up very early and they squeezed me in on the 7:00 - which was running a wee bit late.
Excellent staff and service. Sure beats driving back across Long Island and NYC to get to the other side.

Take the ferry regularly and have to say it's a beautiful way to travel and the crew does a great job. Only recently I have seen two different attendants get annoyed with passengers, but today one screamed right in my face. It's not like I've never done this before, but maybe he hasn't. Or maybe he doesn't have a driver's license and understand there is a slight movement when I put my car into park and remove my foot from the break? Probably easier to scream like that at a woman, too.

Sure beats travelling on LIE and over the Whitestone or Throgs Neck and north on I ,95 to Quinnipiac University in Hamden,CT.
The ferry takes you to Bridgeport, CT.

Roughly an hour 15 minutes. They ask you arrive 30 minutes before departure. Also, once you've arrived at your destination, allow time for unloading if you're driving on board. Unloading can take anywhere from a minute to 15 minutes depending upon where you're vehicle is situated in the ferry.
You have to pay separately for your passenger. The 60 $2 ticket includes vehicle and driver. Scroll further down and you will see options for passengers

$59 one way for car and driver. According to the site there is no senior discount for this ticket, only for a passenger 60 and over, which is $17 as opposed to $20.
Check their website. Rates are dependent on date, your age, round trip versus one way, and if you are taking a car or just walking on. Site is 88844ferry.com
Why don't they allow booking more then 30 in advance?

Not sure your question.....for cars or people? Cars can be booked in advanced to reserve a specific date and time , as far as people not really sure why....as for seating it's whoever gets on ferry first a lot of times it is one person at table seats. Leaving people standing.
Never paid attention to them checking for inspections. But be careful you shouldn't be driving on the road ways anywhere. And if you get caught driving the crew not letting you board will be the least of your problems lol. Driver safe and be careful.
