The NC ferry system app has been available for free download since 2010 but now the app is even better. A recent update to the app now lets travelers know the ferry schedule with real-time information on the 14 routes in the NC State Ferry System. Due to weather and shoaling problems on the NC coast some ferry routes and schedules can be changed suddenly. With the updated app officials say the ferry schedules are always current. People can use the app to get the ferry schedules, call and make reservations for a ferry, and link to the DOT’s website for more information. The NC ferry app has been downloaded more than 4,000 times. If you travel the NC Outer Banks and or the NC coastal region the app is a real necessity and convenience.
If you haven’t been to the NC coast and rode the ferry you are missing out on an adventure! Don’t forget to take a camera!
