I had such a commute once. I lived in Seattle but worked on the other side of Puget Sound commuting by ferry.

Most people who commute across Puget Sound go the other way. They live on the west side and commute east to Seattle. That direction is a nightmare, with heavy traffic and long waits both in traffic and at the ferry terminals.

Going my way traffic was not too bad even if I went in during rush hour. I usually went in a couple hours or so later though and then it wasn't even noticeable. Similar coming home.

On the ferry I could nap in my car, or read in my car, or go take a nice stroll around the deck enjoying watching the water, or have a meal or a snack at the ferry's cafeteria, or relax in the fairly comfortable passenger seating area. There were newspaper vending machines with the Seattle Times, Seattle PI, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal which provided another way to spend my time on the boat.
