About the Block Island Ferry, New Shoreham, RI – Point Judith Ferry Terminal, Narragansett, RI crossing
Back from Old Harbor to the mainland: 28 sailings a day between 08.15 and 20.30, about 55 minutes across to Point Judith.
Two fewer than the outbound
Thirty boats leave Point Judith, twenty-eight come back, and the island's day starts later — first departure 08.15 against 06.30 on the mainland side. The early boats exist to bring workers and freight to Block Island before the day begins.
What you can take with you
On the high-speed service, luggage is capped at two pieces in the racks and 30 lb per passenger, with US Coast Guard rules keeping bags out of the cabin. Anything larger — boxes, tools, bulk groceries — travels only on the traditional ferry, which is also where personal pallets (48×48×36 inches, $10.50) are loaded.
Leaving with a vehicle
Car space is booked by phone only and tied to a named driver who must show matching photo ID. If your vehicle is over seven feet tall, or carrying anything on the roof, say so when booking — it changes both availability and price. Run by Interstate Navigation Company, the island's year-round link twelve miles offshore.
