Normal travel time is approximately 20 minutes for both ferries between Marsh Harbour and Hope Town, either direction
The Marsh Harbour ferry connection is at Albury Ferry Dock for Albury's Ferry -- ask your taxi driver to take you to Albury's Ferry (also just called the "Hope Town Ferry" for the ferry to Hope Town.
