Question

Shelter Island Ferry

Answer

Shelter Island is just a quick 5-minute ferry ride away — with service running every 5–10 minutes from both the north and south. The North Ferry departs from Greenport (conveniently reached by LIRR or Jitney), and the South Ferry departs from North Haven, a short drive from downtown Sag Harbor. Ferries carry both passengers and cars, making the trip fast and simple. Fares are ~$3 per passenger and ~$15 per car.
