The ferry service is evidently a system of motorized boats capable of carrying road vehicles and pedestrians. The entire system consists of two ferry terminals (one in [[Harwood]], [[Portland Island|Portland]] and the other in [[Rockford]], [[Staunton Island|Staunton]]), and two identical large, blue-and-white ferries that alternate between both terminals.

In order to use a ferry service, player must wait until a ferry is docked at a ferry terminal, at which point, a yellow halo marker will appear on the dock in front of the ferry. The player must then drive or walk into the halo, and press a button in order to confirm entry into the ferry. Each ferry ride is $25. The journey can last for up to two minutes, due largely to the slow speed of the ferry, although the player can skip to the period when the ferry arrives at its destination to save time. Like the [[Subway in GTA III|subway trains]], the ferries cannot be stolen and controlled.

An alternative to the ferry is the incomplete [[Callahan Bridge]]. After "[[Driving Mr. Leone]]", a ramp is added on the gaps on the bridge, allowing the player to jump over to Portland or Staunton via this link.
