Funding approved to keep high-speed passenger only ferry service to Ocracoke.
For the second year in a row, North Carolina will lease a high-speed passenger ferry to provide direct service to downtown Ocracoke. Service begins July 3. Peter Vankevich writing in the Ocracoke Observer has the story.
Ocracoke will get a 4th of July gift as the Ocracoke Express passenger ferry service will begin on Friday (July 3) and will run through Sept. 10.
Gov. Roy Cooper signed off on Senate Bill 570 that approved $1.146 million to lease the M/V Martha’s Vineyard ferry from Seastreak Marine out of New Jersey. This is the same boat used last summer.
