New Stay-at-Home Ferry Schedules

N.C. Ferries Adopt New Schedules During Governor's Stay at Home Order 

Beginning Tuesday, the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Ferry System will adopt a new set of schedules to respond to Governor Roy Cooper’s statewide stay at home order.

Cooper ordered people in North Carolina to stay at home from 5 p.m. Monday until April 29 to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.     

The ferry schedules are being adjusted due to lower demand for travel while the stay at home order is in place. Starting Tuesday, the new ferry schedules are as follows:

From Hatteras: 6 a.m., 9 a.m., noon, 3 p.m., 6 p.m., 9 p.m. and midnight

From Ocracoke: 4:30 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
