St. Mary's Ferry

One hundred years ago, the St. Mary’s River bustled with boat traffic carrying cargo and passengers between Fernandina and St. Marys, Ga. With the invention of the automobile, ferry service became obsolete. Today, Kevin and Cecilia McCarthy of Amelia River Cruises are bringing back ferry service between Fernandina and St. Marys, Ga. The McCarthy’s 99-passenger ferry the Bald Eagle also connects passengers to the ferry from St. Marys to Cumberland Island.
