The Cross-Bay Ferry is a regional effort designed to lay the foundation for permanent ferry service. It is a collaboration between St. Petersburg, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County and the Florida Department of Transportation.
The Cross-Bay Ferry will operate from November through April between the Vinoy Basin in downtown St. Petersburg and the Tampa Convention Center in downtown Tampa.
The vessel is a catamaran design that provides for exceptionally smooth runs, and measures 55-feet, accommodating up to 149 passengers for the roughly 50-minute voyage between the cities.
