'''Hitchhiking a ferry''' is easy. Simply ask drivers or truck drivers if you can board the ferry in their truck, - they usually often only have to pay for the vehicle, so you're not costing them anything extra. See also [[:Category:Ferries]] for different routes that involve ferries.It's advised to find out in advance if they charge the ferry charges per vehicle (good) or for each passenger as well (bad). Some ferries are also free (sometimes in just one direction), or charge very small fees for pedestrians, in which case you might as well just walk on.

There are stories floating around of people who always know someone else who managed to go for free on a freighter, but the only reliable stories really date back to the seventies. Regulations and insurances made it much harder to work abord in exchange for the passage. Cargoship travelling is commercialized now virtually everywhere: for quite an expensive fare you can rent a cabin on them. Expect it to cost at least as much as a plane ticket. Make sure to bring a few books to read. You will likely be restricted to only a small part of the boat, and may not have any contact with the outside world for days or weeks.

It is generally very hard to hitch a fishing boat, even proposing your if you're offering to work abord - unless you know the captain, crew , or boat owner. Most fishing boats leave and come back to the same harbor, so this is not much use anyway unless you just want to get out on the ocean or see some remote coastlines.
