FAQs

Question

Is driving the only option to get to Port Jefferson, LI?

Answer

Not at all! Enjoy a little ferry ride out of Bridgeport, CT and dock right in Port Jeff! Easy peasy!

Question

Do I walk on the ferry or bring my car?

Answer

Both are options, and whatever is most comfortable or convenient to you! The hotel does have a parking lot (at no additional fee during March) for those who opt to bring their car.

Question

How far is Danfords hotel from the ferry?

Answer

Literally a hop, skip, and a jump away! Or, roughly, a solid 50 foot walk…. As the ferry is docking you will be able to see the hotel on your left, and if you’re walking, there is access to walk off the boat straight to the hotel. If you are driving your car, you will have to drive off the boat and loop around the village to get to the hotel.

Question

Is there anything to do in the area?

Answer

Heck yes! Feel free to roam around the village if you have any downtime. There are a number of accessible restaurants, bars, breweries, shops, boutiques, etc. There is a Starbucks if you need a coffee fix, and a CVS if you ran out of bobby pins or boob tape. Everything is within walking distance!

Question

If I want to leave my car in Bridgeport so I can walk on, where do I go?

Answer

The ferry is right next to the Bpt train station, and across the street is a brand new, spacious parking garage. You can walk from the garage to the ferry, but if you’d prefer not to, just call the ferry shuttle and they will scoop you up!

Question

When I bring my car, should I book in advance?

Answer

The answer is always best as a YES. If you want to, or plan on bringing your car, best option is to book ASAP to secure your trip/ticket and avoid any kind of selling out. If you are walking on, there is no need to make reservations, but you can definitely buy your tickets in advance.

Question

Question
