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.

Service animals are always welcome aboard NYC Ferry vessels. Pet policies for other animals may vary, so passengers should check current regulations before traveling with pets. Carriers and leashes are typically required for non-service animals.

The East River route provides the most iconic Manhattan skyline views, passing landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and offering spectacular perspectives of Lower Manhattan. All routes offer unique viewpoints, but East River is considered the most scenic for first-time visitors.
