Long Island is served by two year-round ferry lines that cross Long Island Sound and connect Port Jefferson to Bridgeport, Connecticut and Orient Point to New London, Connecticut.

Sometimes getting there is half the fun. A ferry trip is transportation as well as an enjoyable boat ride. And if you want to visit the Long Island resort communities
on Fire Island, where no cars are allowed, the only way is in to take one of the six passenger ferry routes.

You can get from the North Fork to the south Fork of Long Island through Shelter Island using two short ferry rides. All Long Island ferries are listed below:
