Taking passengers to locations for their purposes and that you would
not otherwise be going is specifically disallowed in the FARs,
regardless of whether you charge for the "service". OTOH, such
activities as taking co-workers to a work site or taking friends
somewhere (or nowhere) that you are going is specifically allowed.


Could I advertise a no-cost ferry business?

No.


Why not?

Well, I'll clarify my statement. You can _advertise_ whatever you want,
and mainly risk only getting sued for false advertising. However,
_operating_ a no-cost ferry business witout a commercial rating is likely
to get you in hot water.
