Sistersville Ferry Gets New Boat | Charleston News

Description

The Sistersville Ferry is getting a major upgrade with a $30,000 funding boost to secure a new tow boat—the future “City of Sistersville 3”—after its predecessor sank in May. This vital river crossing, one of the last of its kind on the Ohio River, is more than a tourist draw—it’s essential infrastructure, cutting commute times and supporting local business. Set to launch by September for the West Virginia Oil and Gas Festival, the ferry will soon operate with a new crew, tackling the ongoing challenge of finding qualified pilots while restoring reliable, year-round service.
