The MV Commander is the longest continual service ferry boat in current operation. Im unsure if it is the longest all time though.
I can't say if its the longest in history, but the SS St. Mary's Challenger has been in service for over 100 years (mostly as a cement carrier). And since ships tend to last much longer on the Great Lakes because of the fresh water, I'd think she could possibly be the longest serving overall. More info can be found on the boatnerd website boatnerd.com
The oldest licensed passenger crossing runs across the Thames in England from the town of Hampton to Molesey Hurst. The earliest known record of ferry operation here was in 1514 making it about 500 years old. The Hampton Ferry has not used the same boat for this length of time though so it is not the oldest ferry boat, yet it does remain the oldest licensed crossing...still an impressive feat for such a humble ferry.

The Staten Island Ferry times are quite complicated. For the most part they come every 30 minutes, however from 1am to 5 am every hour, and rush hour 6 am to 9 am every 15-20 min and then every 30 minutes. So the longest one would have to wait for the Staten Island Ferry is 1 hour.
