Anyone familiar with the Bridgport to Port Jefferson ferry? We are planning to take it on the way back from vacation to Cape Cod in a couple weeks, need to make a christening on LI on the way back. We would be crossing Saturday 20 Aug mid day, and I wondered if we would need reservations or if weekends are open enough. I don't know "exactly" what time we would be getting there, havn't figured out a drive time from Cape yet.

Thanks - Greg

It wouldn't hurt to make a reservation.

We take it all the time and never make reservations (We've done it 4 times this summer so far). Mid-day should be fine. We took it again two weekends ago and got on when we were on stand-by on a Sunday late afternoon which is about as heavy as it gets, especially considering it's the height of vacation season. I wouldn't worry about it, even in the remote chance you don't get on, they leave every hour during this time of the season and you'll get the next one.

i was taking it every friday and sunday night during peak hours for a month and we always made a reservation...i saw people get turned away...and didnt want it to happen to me

wht's up indy? might need someone to find out about that bertram...you gonno a be over that way anytime soon?

Wife e-mailed for me to get the ferry reservation so ... Avoiding conflict, and any potential "I told you so" I took the easy way out and booked one on-line.

Thanks - Greg

Probably next time Jeremy and I get together for din...you're welcome to come and we can prowl aournd Cove Marina and see if anybody's around that can help us with it. We usually get together every month or so...

That's a very smart thing to do!!!!

k...let me know...
