<P> The Cape May--Lewes Ferry, operated by the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), consists of three ferry vessels and two terminal facilities . Its operations are based at its Cape May terminal, which is actually located in North Cape May, on the north shore of the Cape May Canal . </P> <P> The three vessels in the fleet carry both vehicles (passenger cars, buses, RVs, tractor trailers, motorcycles, and bicycles) and foot passengers . Each has a capacity of about 100 cars, selling out in advance during the popular summer weekends (although passenger capacity usually does not). Advance reservations are accepted . </P> <P> The ferry trip takes approximately 80 minutes and provides a view of three lighthouses: the Cape May Light in New Jersey, and the Harbor of Refuge Light and Delaware Breakwater East End Light near Lewes . </P> <P> The ferry's terminal buildings were substantially overhauled in 2000--01 . A new Cape May terminal replaced the existing structure, built in 1988 . The Lewes terminal, also built in 1988, was expanded and renovated at the same time . Both terminals now feature unique, recognizable "towers," which contain elevators and staircases connecting the terminal buildings to glass - enclosed walkways . The walkways allow foot passengers to board the vessel directly on the second deck, avoiding vehicles driving onto the car deck below . </P>
