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.
