The NYC Ferry Experience

An Affordable Way to Travel

NYC Ferry operated by City Experiences aims to provide an affordable way to travel between waterfront communities throughout New York City. The six routes span over 60 nautical miles of waterways and connect New Yorkers and visitors to the city’s waterfront communities – including neighborhoods, job centers, and parks.

The Boarding Process

Remember to show your ticket to the deckhand before you board. You can purchase tickets on the app or the Ticket Machines at the landings.

    Schedules can be found in NYC Ferry app and are available for download PDF through our Routes & Schedules page. Departure schedules can also be found at every landing.

  • Traveling with Children
    Children under the height of 44 inches can ride for free when accompanied by an adult. Please make sure children are accompanied by adults at all times. Stroller parking is available onboard. Travel safe! Follow the safety procedures to ensure the best quality experience.
  • Bringing a Bike Along
    NYC Ferries can accommodate approximately 8-10 bicycles (riders who bring a suitcase-sized folding bike can keep their bike with them while traveling). There is a limit to how many bicycles each ferry can safely carry and if we reach bicycle capacity you may not be permitted to board with your bicycle.
