The ferry links Lower Manhattan and Staten Island, offering water-level views of the harbour and skyline. Allow time for waiting and terminal procedures as well as the crossing.
What is free
The city-operated Staten Island Ferry is free for all passengers.
What is not included
Onward transport, food and commercial cruises are separate. This is not a ferry that visits Liberty Island.
Before you go
You do not need to buy a ticket from people near the terminal. Disembark at the end of the trip and follow instructions for a return sailing.
