The new Ferry NY Waterway is located at Midtown West on 39th Street — Pier 79 — New York and makes a stop in Battery Park — Pier 11 — on Wall Street and then Staten Island. It takes 35 minutes to complete the route and costs $2.75 which is worth it. The trip from St. George on the northern tip of Staten Island to Battery Park City takes about 18 minutes and then an extra 17 minutes to reach Midtown West. I prefer this ferry rather than the SI ferry since it’s faster but I will continue to use it since it’s more convenient for my needs. However, I truly enjoyed the night ride.

Nice terminal clean and all no complain about that even restrooms is cleaner then most of the public restrooms of NYC parks. Only down side is those stores dont buy anything from them unless you are a tourist. They charge too much for everything i.e: 1 small coke can is $3. Other then that its OK.SIDE NOTE: This is one of NYC Ferry stop too.

Fantastic way to travel! Glorious to whiz over the water with the wind in your hair - especially at sunset - what a view! Check that your route is available though on the day and time you need it.

I love our Staten Island ferry but I had to give the new fast ferry a try. Excellent ride but they need more signage! The NYC FERRY brought us to 39th street with free shuttle busses to Times Square.

The view is espectacular, and its one of the fastest ways to get to Manhattan.The cost is only $9 (expensive if you plan to go several times) but for once in a while its worth it the trip

Ferries arrive on time and located at a convenient spot. Would be even better if its possible to track the shuttles.

I truly hate boarding guys they make my day hell because of the ticket not downloading on time.Like I want to rip them off for 9$ . The ferry runs every 20 min!!!not like before every 5min. Ill save my 100 weekly and get bus from now on.

Neat place and good signals to take the ferries, nice commuter to drawn island or a new way to see the New York harbor on the way to Saint George’s dock. Very easy access from midtown, and a commuter bus that can take you to the East River ferry stop at 34th street .

I really enjoyed going on the ferry. It’s so convenient and a fast and safer way to travel from NJ to NYC. I think its way better than being stuck in NYC traffic. I really recommend.

The terminal was clean but there was no ticket agent available nor customer service. Tickets are expensive for the short ride. I believe this entitles us to some customer service. Not just a vending machine.

Nothing really to it, just another Ferry great thing about its just the ride to the Statue of Liberty that is by the way an awesome place to visit...

Great way to travel to New York from NJ. They have a secure parking garage close to the ferry. Pay for the ferry.... and you get free access to the waterway buses, which travel all across Manhattan. Great deal for the price.

Great way to get around! Staying in New Jersey is cheaper than in the city and with the ferry and bus transportation services - this makes it a real pleasure to tour New York!

Excellent way of transportation if you want to avoid manhattan traffic and parking. It has a huge garage at a very reasonable traffic. Departures are every 20 minutes. They even have a network of busses to take you to popular locations around the island of Manhattan.

So as a daily commuter the ferry is pretty reliable. 90% on time. Free easy on off shuttle busses all over Manhattan get me to work in midtown usually on time. However its expensive!! The most expensive of all my commuting options from Rockland county. Monthly to Edgewater is nowb$330. Less for port imperial. There is now NO STREET parking for Edgewater!! Permit only so I have to find other ways to commute.

One of our greatest experience in NYC. You can transfer between different parts of NYC with great view from Hudson River for extremely low price. One way is only $2.75. I recommend EAST RIVER to Brooklyn.

On time and quick service into Manhattan. Have not used in peak hours, but off-peak has been very COVID friendly with minimal passengers and easy social distancing. If it werent for the high ticket price (compared to Path or bus) Id use it as my main form of transportation to/from the city all the time!

Review №69

NY Waterway ferry service is truly worthy of 5 stars, but for one reason I only give 4 stars.The $18 round trip care is a bit too much.This could easily be rectified by NY Waterway by running the ferries every 20 minutes instead of every 10 minutes.Every trip that I take, the ferry is no where near full to capacity.Sure. During rush hour, run them every 10 minutes. Off peak runs could easily be cut to every 20 to 30 minutes. Just my opinion. Happy ferrying! 😎

Horrible ferry service to downtown from weehawken. Every 30 mins, makes stops, doesnt run mid day or after 8pm or weekends but costs over $350 mo or you can pay $27 r/t. I have no choice, its a monopoly & they treat it as such. No busses downtown either and oh yeah, gd luck freezing on outdoor pier when its 10 degrees out. No walls or heat. If NY Waterway was a landlord it would be a slum lord, minus the cheap rent.

Best way to get to NY by far! Daily commute to work is a breeze because you dont have to worry about traffic every morning. It is definitely the pricier option, but totally worth the convenience.

Review №84

Artificial monopoly which behaves like one providing terrible service and inflexible fare options. One was ticket is valid for one month and if you don’t use it within that month it expires. When asked, the service provided no replacement and no explanation. When changing slips no signs are put out for passengers so you have to go around each ferry and ask their route! Little value for your money when better options exist.

Review №85

So convenient to go all over New York City during the day to catch some major sights off the waterways here between the city and Jersey. To be able to see the Statue of Liberty from the waterway is just absolutely breath taking. Architecture in New York doesnt get the credit it should.Taking this tour will give you this wonderful perspective. The $2.75 fare on most ferrys is the best kept secret in NYC Tourism. Thank you for keeping it down and competitive with subway fares. The Subway can be a daunting task but the waterway taxis are straight forward. See you soon NYC #GoBears

Its a great way to transit into NYC. The ferry ride across the Hudson is smooth and quick. The service is almost always on time and on schedule. There are courtesy buses to help you around Manhattan. You save on tolls and midtown parking and avoid a stressful drive and parking hunt.

Best way to get across the River it literally takes 8 mins, Port to Port and there are Waterway buses that u can take to certain destinations once u get off the boat..i love it..wish the pr8ces were cheaper however

The phone App sucks. I bought 4 weekend tickets and have not been able to use them because the app is always off-line. DO NOT USE THE PHONE APP. Ferry is scenic but does not run on time. The ticket terminals are often out of order. This is a novelty ride at best.
