The Staten Island Ferry is a great way to cruise by the Statue of Liberty for free. You can also take your bike on the boat if you are browsing NYC by bike .

Ferry between Manhattan and Staten Island is a great experience on a sunny day. And it's FREE!!

Frank Paternoster

By far my favorite ferry boat, try to sit out along the sides of the boat. In the summer they open the windows for a nice breeze and a nice view

John Canary

At nitetime leaving whitehall terminal stay in the back. Bring a tripod and mount the camera set it full f stop open and shutter for one second. At ISO 800 for a beautiful nitetime picture .

Andrew Beck

Best boat for power napping. Sit on the lower decks and let the gentle roar of the engines rock you into a heavenly 25 minute sleep.

Rosanne

This boat has the most room to spread out. Head downstairs for peace and quiet and a quick way off the boat.

Ernest Barteldes

One of the more spacious boats, sister to the Andrew J Barberi ... Free ride and you can drink beer in board

Best views are outside at the back if weather permits

Named after the man that created Staten Island's newspaper: the Staten Island Advance

This boat is free and takes you right by the Statue of Liberty . Great alternative to the 30 a piece boats. And there is NO waiting.
