About
The Cape May-Lewes Ferry made its first official voyage on July 1, 1964, and has since carried over 17 million vehicles. It is operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority, a bi-state agency created in 1962 that also manages the Delaware Memorial Bridge and several regional airports.
The original fleet was four vessels purchased in 1963 from Virginia's Chesapeake Bay Ferry District; purpose-built vessels entered service in the 1970s and 1980s, and a $54.4 million fleet refurbishment program followed in the 1990s. Under a Marine Master Plan, DRBA is designing a next-generation fleet with consultants KPFF and Elliott Bay Design Group, with options discussed including at least partially battery-powered hybrid ferries.
