Cross Bay Ferry To Return
The hugely popular Cross-Bay Ferry service is returning to Tampa Bay! That’s right, the service will begin Nov. 1, promises to run later and charge less for tickets.
As reported on Bay News 9, this season the ferry will have a new schedule, run later in the evening and also have lower ticket prices: $8 for adults, $3 for children ages 5-18, and discounts for seniors, active/retired military and college students.
The ferry will dock near the Vinoy in St. Petersburg, within walking distance of Straub Park, the Museum of Fine Arts and the shops and restaurants along Beach Drive. And in Tampa, the ferry will dock adjacent to the Florida Aquarium, just steps away from Sparkman Wharf, Amalie Arena, the Tampa Bay History Center and the Tampa Riverwalk.
St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman says, “The ferry provides a fun, fast and efficient way to connect two great cities across the water. Ever since the first season finished, people have asked me when the ferry will return, and I’m thrilled to say the answer is November 1.”
The ferry will have six months of scheduled service through April 2019. I think its going to be great way to travel and shop both cities while enjoying our beautiful bay.
