East River Ferry

Best way to commute to the city , rain or shine! Not packed, pretty quick and amazing views ! They have a little bus to take you around midtown ! Not needed if you go downtown.

Definite recommendation for any tourists/visitors. Especially if you live in Murray Hill or Midtown East and want to go to Williamsburg or DUMBO

The best $4 you can spend to commute from Greepoint/Williamsburg to Downtown Manhattan. Absolutely breathtaking views . Have a nice trip! :)

Use the app to buy your ticket with a card--for some reason they want to charge you an extra $1 to get a ticket on board with a card. They will let you board and use your phone to buy it, too.

Cool and stress-free way to see NYC. Never crossed two bridges these fast - Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge . Been in the Big Apple since the eighties but this is my first ferry tour !

If you can look past the black smoke over the water, it's the best way to go to and from L.I.C., Greenpoint, Williamsburg , Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO , South Street Seaport, and Governor's Island .

The best way to get over the east river to Greenpoint, Brooklyn and even Dumbo . You even get amazing skyline views of Manhattan

What better way to enjoy the views of Midtown and Lower Manhattan on a sunny day than from a boat on the East River ?

By creating a reliable, affordable ferry service on the East River , residents have a sustainable transportation alternative to travel around the city .

Introduced in June, 2011, the ferry costs $4 each way and sets sail every 20 minutes. Take a quick, scenic ride to Long Island City (only five minutes away) or to Brooklyn and back.

One of our great services on the East River ! We have several locations! You can even do a transfer at Pier 11, and make your way up the Hudson!

Get the app to avoid lines for the ticket. Wait until you see the boat to activate the ticket.

Tourist tip: a cheap & fast way into Brooklyn - with a lovely view of Manhattan!

In July 2012, East River Ferry ridership reached one million passengers, more than doubling expectations in just over its first year of service.

$4 weekday $6 weekend, much better than taking the subway and has a great view

Take the Ferry from DUMBO to Midtown to return to Manhattan ... after walking the Brooklyn Bridge and having coffee in DUMBO .

Don't ever be late! The time says 12:30 be there 5-10mins ahead of time they don't wait, just be prepared stays on strict schedule. About a 5min shuttle very convenient

If you don't know where you are going, pay attention rather than yelling at the poor ferry workers when you miss your stop ;)

Download the NY Waterway app and get your tickets on your phone.

Service is VERY unreliable so don't count on the ferry when you're rushed. But when it works the ride is smooth & efficient.

Ride past Williamsburg during live concerts . It's like being in a Miami Vice episode

Relaxing and convenient. But rarely on time.

A great place to grab some peaceful time in the city .
