DR1 news mentions such a ferry in an article about new roads on the north east coast from PC to SdlM.

Anyone know what the deal is on it? Passengers only?

I believe so.
One time some people I know attempted to bring a moto across, a total disaster and not one the guys running the ferry were too keen to do on a regular basis.
If memory serves...There were only two crossings a day.
Mind you, it is very possible that there have been improvements and upgrades since.
If you do find yourself taking a ride across......don't forget your lifejacket.

I know there are a couple of people ferry's. That doesn't help vehicles.

It's quite a drive from Samana to SdlM via land. Been there.

No Flights

...if there is a domestic flight from punta Cana to samana?

There used to be regular flights from PUJ to El Portillo (Las Terrenas).
No more.
El Portillo airstrip is closed.
Alternatives would be to fly to AZS (El Catey) or Arroyo Barril.
You'd have to charter a plane for that, which is not cheap...

Are you going to Samana City or some where else on the Samana Peninsula? You could take Bavaro Express bus to SD and then take a bus to Samana. There are no regualarly scheduled flights within the DR.
