  • Join me on an exciting day as I embark on a ferry excursion boat ride from Bridgeport Connecticut to Port Jefferson, New York. Experience the thrill of exploring two ports in one trip. (Port Jefferson Terminal to Bridgeport Terminal)
    What is the cost, the duration of the trip, where to park, where to eat, and what activities are available once you arrive in Port Jefferson?
    My walking tour answers all these questions.
    Use this as your travel guide if you plan on taking the Ferry boat ride from Connecticut to New York.

    Met my girl when I was living in Port Jeff and she was nannying in Westport. Taking the ferry to see her every weekend was the best! We'll be married soon. Love the ferry, just wish is was more affordable or else I'd visit LI more, since we're in Bridgeport as of now. Driving there is just miserable!

      Nice. Congrats on the wedding. Yeah, it's much better just to hope on the Ferry and go. Save a lot of times and traffic headaches.

    The building you zoomed in on at 13:12 is the old Bridgeport Harbor Station coal plant. It was decommissioned in June 2021 and is currently awaiting demolition. It was the last active coal-fired power plant in Connecticut at the time of its closure.

    I lived in CT most of my life, and in Bridgeport for about 25 years. Since I get seasick, I was too chicken to get on the ferry. So, glad to be having the experience through your lens, and not have to be seasick. LOL. Thanks for sharing!

    taking your car only includes the driver and it’s a one way only if you take a car. No round trips if bringing your car. there is parking for the ferry and a shuttle but he doesn’t show that.
