The Cape May-Lewes Ferry offers RV travelers a unique and enjoyable break from the road. There is no better way to travel between Delaware and New Jersey. This ferry might just be the best 85 minutes of your day’s journey. Sit back, relax and take in the amazing maritime scenery of historic lighthouses, beautiful harbors and ocean-going vessels, all while enjoying a cocktail on the sunset lounge. Chances are you might even see dolphins, and if you are lucky possibly a whale sighting.
