The only way to get close to the Statue of Liberty right now. Don't be scammed by the street teams selling tickets. This is free and fun. If you have time tour Staten Island too. Did I mention: Free!

Bobby Pickles

This quintessential Staten Island ferry boat is the best of the fleet . The long wooden rows are the most comfortable , allowing for more space and character. Fuck the puke colored 1970s seats on others

it’s free and you can catch a great view of Manhattan as well as the Statue of liberty . but the ferry is really outdated

Leigh Sansone

FREE ride round trip. A great cheap way to see the Statue of Liberty , Ellis Island on drive-bys, and stellar views of downtown Manhattan from the water. Best tourist ride in NYC!

Tim Bushnell

A 30 minute ride to Staten island, with a nice view of Ellis and Liberty islands along the way

There ARE outlets for charging especially for I-pods and I-phones, IF you look in front of the food stand (heading to staten island) in the middle next to the pillar its tucked inside a metal cover.

Beautiful old ferry boat where you can sit outside and take in the ocean air.

Amy Cummings

Free with views of the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan!

Michael Scott

Bathroom shitters don't have doors. If u got to drop a rope better be comfortable military style. I had unfortunate pleasure of walking past dudes taking a shit. It was definitely an award moment.

People that don't like this boat are either dead inside or have no sense of history. Check out the layers of carved graffiti - decades of feuds and lovers.

Tom Joseph

Great views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty

Pride of '65. Oldest boat with the least convenience

Andrew Beck

The seats are surprisingly more comfortable than the new class of boats. It's the angle, I guess?

Free scenic ferry ride. Approximately 30 minutes each way.

I like these outdoor decks the best. More than even the newer boats.

Alyson Brown

This boat is great. So what if its old it runs and is reliable.

Jim Meidlinger

If you watch the opening of Working Girl, you'll notice Melanie Griffith and Joan Cusack are on the JFK

Ernest Barteldes

The oldest boat on the fleet , still going strong since 1965... The last of its class .

David Arr

This is the grand ferry of them all. Always a pleasure.

Emery Taylor

Out of all the ferrys ..this one is from a bygone era...beautiful old boat, unfortunately so are the restrooms

HashtagNYU

Got tourists coming to town ? JSex recommends this free ride for NYC newbies.

Daddy's Sunshine!!

Somehow, I always end up on this particular Ferry . Seriously 90% of my SI Ferry trips were on JFK.

Ernest Barteldes

Week of May 5th this boat operating with no bathrooms or concessions... Not good

Looks like a church in here!

Phil Franchina

Dirt boat.

Mike S

Hands down the worst boat of them all. Needs to be retired.

Justin L

No outlets.....

Tom Pistol

Von Manhatten aus nach Staten Island. Den besten Blick hat man vom Heck aus auf downtown Manhatten und man sieht die Statue of Liberty. Kostenlos!

Cony Rosen

Bueno, bonito y barato . Excelente opción para ver la Estatua de la Libertad sin ningún costo

Rafael Padua

Passeio bacana e de graça!
