can you go to america by boat or ferry ?

[evildemon]

instead of going to america by plane is it cheaper to go by boat or ferry ?

[sandyRoe]

It would be cheaper by plane. A few ships sail regularly to Canada but only carry a few passengers.

My YES answerjust referred to the question in your title: yes you can go by boat.
As sandyRoe says, it's usually cheaper to go by plane. On a ship you are paying for accommodation and food for up to 7 nights each way

Ferry? That's the Queen Mary!

It's much more expensive to go by sea. There are no 'ferry' services, per se.

You either have to pay to travel on a luxury cruise liner

or you have to travel on one of the few freighter which carry passengers. They can take ages (often going via other European ports, such as Amsterdam or Lisbon, before they cross the Atlantic), with fares running into thousands of dollars:
