Connecting Communities. Driving Resiliency.
Launched in 2017, New Yorkers now have a new, affordable way to travel between waterfront communities throughout the city with NYC Ferry.
NYC Ferry launched on May 1, 2017. Spanning 60 nautical miles, with 21 landings, NYC Ferry connects waterfront communities in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens to jobs, recreation, and each other. Soon the system will expand to eight routes and all five boroughs, extending service to 11 million riders per year.
We are proud to have delivered a transit system to dozens of communities that have long been underserved, and look forward to exploring ways to expand the network.
