Our Family has been crossing to Cape Vincent NY and points south utilizing the Horne Ferry Service frome Wolfe Island since we discoverd this excellent service in 1984. The Horne Family have over 200 years of Tradition serving their repeat customers. Excellent Customer Service ,Convience,Great Views and we avoid long line ups at the traditional Bridge crossing....Most Enjoyable.
Quick and scenic, nice folks and only 6 cars on the ferry...minutes at the border! Perfect to get to Sackets Harbor for the day!
We enjoy taking the trip from Cape Vincent over to Wolfe Island and then hopping the Kingston Ferry for a fun filled day trip. It is nice and relaxing not having to worry about traffic on the bridge! We have always a great experience on the Horne Ferry...very nice people!
Boat needs to be bigger to fit more vehicles or go more often. Waited over an hour 4 out of 6 times we used it. Nice that it is free and it runs early morning and late night.
a great service - takes the hussel and bussel out of crossing the border . Well priced and well run - An easy and quick route to New York State
This was a fun experience. I have crossed most of the U.S./Canada border crossings but this one is unique. The trip only took 20 min. minutes to cross from Kingston to Wolfe Island (no charge). A short drive across the Island and another short ferry ride (small fee) to the U.S. customs. We were able to take as many photos as we liked both boarding and getting off the ferry's. Cost is reasonable and the ride is a fun experience. Excellent people guiding us on and off and through customs. Would definitely do this again.
I travelled on Horne's Ferry to reach Cape Vincent, NY and then continue southward. The Ferry is well run, and it's a very efficient way to cut at least an hour of driving to Hill Island.
We crossed on the ferry for our first time yesterday. We arrived and drove right onto the ferry. My husband and daughter had a blast standing near the front of the ferry and getting splashed by the waves and mist. The trip was fast and it only took a few minutes for the 3 cars on board to be cleared by the customs agent. Wolfe Island is quite a nice little island, and we really enjoyed stopping at the corn maze.
We arrived in Kingston later in afternoon and walked from tourist bureau to ferry. We hopped on and watched the sun set along with a view of the waterfront and all for free.
Had e-mailed ahead about space and was told no problem with a suv and a trailer of 31' length since the ferry looked a little small and was told it wouldn't be a problem.On seeing the ferry approach I was sure there was no way it was going to work and was ready to detour but was assured by the custom's officer they could do it.I was guided aboard the side entering ferry until I was told to stop.I looked back and joked to the shipmate that I wasn't completely on and he assured me it was "smooth sailing" today,lol.Well, we made it with part of my trailer hanging out the side of the boat. : )
