One of the shortest ferry rides is across the Whitianga Harbour entrance, probably 300ft, through very choppy water for NZ$3. The harbour extends back and widens out inland about 10km and causes a huge amount of water to sluice in and out with each tide. Add wind whistling through the gap gives great wind against tide effects making the ferryman navigate crabwise from dick to dock.
