We rode on the ferry from Galveston to Port Bolivar and back after spending several hours in Port Bolivar.
It is a very fun ride I first went on in 1949 when I lived in Galveston. I have been gone from there for over 60 years, with occasional visits back. The ferry is as much fun now as it used to be.
You can feed the sea gulls from the back of the boat. The birds are beautiful to watch and if you are lucky you will see dolphins accompanying the boat.
The sunset is beautiful from the ferry.

I think the Bolivar Ferry should be experienced each time you go to Galveston. It allows you to see Crystal beach and enjoy a less developed area. The trip itself is interesting if you have never taken a ferry. The sea gulls follow it and you can feed them from the stern (crackers). The ferry gets you out on the water which is a great experience by itself.

First of all... it's free. Bonus: you'll get out on the water and you might see some bottlenose dolphins. I rode as a pedestrian on two round trips. The first time I didn't see any dolphins but the second time we saw LOTS. Some quite close to the ferry. The views of the harbor, Pelican Island, shipping boat traffic, Bolivar lighthouse all made the 15 minute trip well worth it. Even with whitecap waves it was a smooth journey.
Leave your car in the free parking lot at the ferry port and walk on as a pedestrian. Some of the ferry staff are very helpful and friendly, others might bark at you. Both trips I had an experience where I'd ask a procedure question of an employee, got one answer and then got barked at by a different employee for not doing it right and told a completely different answer. I'd still go again if I'm ever back and will encourage others to go as well.

Galveston was terrible. It is ugly, developed, they're are no bike paths, the beach is narrow, and there is nothing to do. Don't waste your time.

First time taking a ferry so idk the protocol but the ride was free, smooth sailing & we got to the dock around 6 am & were on the boat by 630 or so. It was pretty cool to see the cruise ship sailing by before we could load the ferry. We wanted to bypass Houston while heading to New Orleans so this seemed to be the best option. Once the boat starts moving, you’re allowed to exit your vehicle and watch for dolphins (if you’re lucky.) We were! No problems or issues at all. The ride was about 15-20 minutes long. No smoking, vaping allowed on the boat or in your vehicle. There’s no bathroom so plz go before you get to the dock.

Riding the ferry is a lifetime tradition for each time I visit Galveston! Safe and fun method of travel! Continual upgrades and improvements are made which keeps traffic flowing!

Great FREE transportation between Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston. Staff is friendly and helpful. Trip only takes 15 minutes or so, but time enough to get out of the car and watch for dolphins! Getting on and off the ferry is well marked and ferry employees are there to direct you.

This was a neat experience for my family and I. We have never been on the ferry and thought it would be fun to try. We even saw dolphins!! Would definitely do this again when we are back in town.

This ferry was awesome. This was my first time driving my car onto a ferry. We didn’t have to wait long to load up, and the 2.6 miles across went fast. We got to be the first car in line so we had an awesome view! I was so excited when I put in GPS to get us to our next destination, and I didn’t have to drive back through the Houston traffic!
Only tip- go to the bathroom in Galveston BEFORE getting in line for the ferry! Port Bolivar and Crystal Beach had nowhere to stop! We finally came to a gas station after driving 30 miles and they made us use a porta potty… gross!
Also, we didn’t know and no signs actually say, but this ferry is FREE! 💯❤️🎁

Can I ride the ferry if I don't have any papers and/or legal documents?

Can I put my dog's ashes in the water while on the ferry? His ashes are in a biodegradable box. Thank you in advance!
كُتب بتاريخ 25 مايو 2023
I don’t see why not, I would suggest doing it somewhere out of view of other people on the boat. On both my trips most people were staying in their vehicles so you should be ok.

Are dogs allowed as a walk on? I would guess they are allowed if you drive but not sure if they can be leashed and walking around with us. I have seen conflicting answers. Maybe if someone can pass along a number or office I can look up and call to find out for sure that would also be a great help. Thanks!

My cousin is coming in from Oklahoma this weekend and her dad's and mother's wishes were to have their ashes scattered in Galveston. My cousin is a healthcare provider and it has been tough for her to plan ahead because of her schedule. Will she be able to dispose of their ashes this coming week? Is there a permit or anything that she needs to obtain to make their wishes come true?

The best, easiest and most practical way to have your question answered is to contact The Ferry Authority and inquire of them.
There may be regulations that you would have to know and follow.

Why do they search under cars hood and trunk when leaving Bolivar Port Ferry to Galveston but not the other way around?
