Due to an automobile accident, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has closed AIA (in both directions) between Wonderwood Expressway and the Mayport ferry landing.  As a result, the start of St. Johns River Ferry service today has been temporarily delayed.  A subsequent alert will be issued as soon as AIA is reopened and ferry service resumes.

In conjunction with the 3rd annual Historic Mayport Village Ferry Fest to be held this Saturday, August 2, 2014, the St. Johns River Ferry Commission voted to waive all fares for the St. Johns River Ferry between the hours of 10:00 am and 6:00 pm on the day of the event.  Instead of paying the normal fare, the St. Johns River Ferry Commission is asking riders for a donation of school supplies to fill 150 backpacks which will be given to area children for the upcoming school year.

Ferry Service Temporarily Suspending
January 14, 2014
Service on the St. Johns River has been temporarily suspended in response to a possible problem detected today with vessel control mechanisms that were replaced during last month’s overhaul and inspection.  Although we have long awaited the ferry’s return to normal operations, the decision to temporary suspend service is made with the upmost regard for passenger safety.  We anticipate ferry service to be suspended through tomorrow, Wednesday, January 15.  We again apologize for any inconvenience, but safety always comes first.  Please look for  future alerts with updates on this situation.
