Imagine a morning commute that replaces traffic delays and overcrowded subways with the gentle sway of the Hudson and the salt-tinged scent of the sea in the air. That’s precisely what you get when you commute with NY Waterway.
And now riding the ferry is easier than ever thanks to NY Waterway’s new ferry dock located outside the Harborside Terminal near Exchange Place. Harborside ferries can get you to either Battery Park/Brookfield Place or 39th Street/Midtown in as little as six minutes flat.
Each ferry provides plenty of elbow room, ultra-fast reliable service, and Instagram-worthy views of New York and Jersey City to kick start your day. During inclement weather, you can wait for the ferry inside the Harborside terminal where you can grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner at a variety of shops and restaurants such as the Piggyback Bar, the Whealth Cafe, or Tidal Poke Co.
