Yup.
I took the Key West to Marco Island ferry two months ago. The ferry operator had free parking in Marco Island but charged for parking at Ft Meyers, that is why we chose Marco Island instead. If you take advantage of the parking, talk to the ferry staff first, if a vehicle will be parked there for several days they want to tell the parking lot manager that it is not abandoned. Our vehicle was in Marco Island for two weeks while we cycled Big Cyprus, Everglades, and the Keys. Had a great loop trip that finished with the ferry ride.
Your bike is lashed to a guard railing on the side of the boat next to the garbage bags. You have to carry on your panniers. They have some rules on carryons, but we had no problems.
