Ferry tickets can be purchased online, through mobile apps, at ferry terminals, or using contactless payment methods. Advance purchase often provides convenience and potential savings, while same-day tickets are available at all terminal locations.

Comfortable clothing appropriate for marine weather, sunscreen, cameras for skyline photography, and layers for changing conditions enhance the ferry experience. Bringing water and snacks is advisable for longer journeys or when exploring multiple destinations.

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.
