The RiverLink Ferry is a passenger ferry service in the United States.

The ferry operates daily from May through September, and on Fridays through Sundays in April and October.〔(Official brochure ), accessed July 7, 2010〕 Primarily, the system provides tourists with a means to reach waterfront attractions.〔("DRPA pairs tourism with transportation" ), ''Philadelphia Business Journal'', September 7, 2001〕 The service carries over 200,000 passengers per year and first turned a profit in 2006.〔("A first: Tourist ferry glides into the black" ), ''Philadelphia Business Journal'', March 10, 2006〕
==History==
The ferry service initiated operations in March 1992.〔("Philly Ferry Crews Stick With Seafarers" ), www.seafarers.org, accessed September 1, 2007〕 Since April 1, 2000, the service has been operated by the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA). The DRPA originally agreed to take over its operation in November 1999.〔(DRPA History Timeline ), accessed September 1, 2007〕 Service is provided by ''Freedom Ferry'', a 600-passenger vessel managed by Hornblower Marine Services.〔("Delaware River ferries crossing more frequently" ), ''Philadelphia Business Journal'', March 10, 2005〕〔(Horn Blower Marine Conventional Ferries ), accessed September 1, 2007〕 On June 3, 2005, Hornblower also began offering Delaware River ferry tours under the name "Harbor Tours."〔("New Delaware River ferry tours set to begin" ), ''Philadelphia Business Journal'', May 31, 2005〕
