Most NYC Ferry routes operate year-round with seasonal schedule variations. Some routes like Rockaway and Governors Island operate seasonally, while core routes like East River provide consistent service throughout winter months with potential frequency adjustments.

Ferry ride duration varies by route and stops, typically ranging from 15 to 45 minutes depending on your origin and destination. The scenic journey provides spectacular views of Manhattan’s skyline and offers a relaxing alternative to subway travel.

While ferries don’t stop directly at Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge Park/Pier 1 terminal provides excellent access to the bridge and surrounding area. This stop on the East River route offers spectacular bridge views and park access for tourists and photographers.
