Ferry services, provided by North Carolina's Department of Transportation (NCDOT), link Ocracoke Island to Hatteras Village and the mainland. There is a comfort station with restrooms available on the south side of the stacking lanes. The vehicle ferry connects Hatteras Island with the northern end of Ocracoke Island. The ferry crosses Hatteras Inlet in roughly one hour and reservations are not required.
In the summer months, a passenger ferry leaves from the north dock directly into Silver Lake at Ocracoke Village in about 90 minutes.
Check the NCDOT ferry website for current departure schedules.
Once in line to await ferry-boarding, visitors are free to hop out of their vehicles and explore the nearby beaches and facilities, but are reminded to be back in their cars ten minutes before the next scheduled departure time.
