The ferry is served by the vessel Real McCoy II which is 88-feet long by 38-feet wide and entered service in 2011, replacing the venerable Real McCoy. The hull's capacity is 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg), and can carry up to eight vehicles.[3] It is powered by a hydraulic propulsion system, with 360 degree propellers for steering.[3][1] There is a 16.25-ton weight limit, tractor-trailers are prohibited, and the length limit is at the discretion of the Coast Guard.[4]
Ryer Island is also connected via the Howard Landing Ferry on Highway 220 to the east towards Ryde, and north via Highway 84 on a bridge towards West Sacramento. Both the Howard Landing Ferry and the Ryer Island Ferry are the only state-run ferries, and there are no plans to replace them with bridges due to the low traffic numbers around Ryer Island.[1]
