The North Carolina Department of Transportation Ferry Division is pet-friendly.

Riding on the Vehicle Ferry is fun for the whole family. However, some people & pets never get out of their automobile during the ferry trip, while others get out right away and look around the ferry boat.

For the people who take their pets out of their vehicles, please know that pets must be leashed. You must also be aware that pets are not allowed in the Lounge on the Ferry. Also, please clean up after your pet. 
 
The exact quote from the NCDOT website is:

"Pets are permitted on ferries, but they must be kept in vehicles or on leashes at all times, and owners must clean up after them. Horses must be transported ​in a horse trailer. Only service animals are allowed inside Ferry Visitor Centers or Ferry Passenger Lounges."

The NCDOT Ferry Division will start the Spring Ferry Schedule today, Tuesday, April 12, 2022. To plan your fun ferry trip, please visit the NCDOT website at:
