Service is provided on weekdays (except major holidays) year-round. Service has run hourly since 2020, however there was half-hourly service before 2020. Weekend service was provided during the summer up until 2019, however due to COVID-19, summer weekend service was not provided in the summers of 2020, 2021, or 2022.[2][3] It is unclear if summer weekend service will resume in 2023. All transfers (except transfers involving the free Downtown Connection bus at the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal) are paid as each system runs independently. Fares are $10 one-way from Manhattan to either New Jersey dock, and $2 one way between Warren Street and Liberty Landing. Discounts for seniors and children, as well as ten-trip and monthly passes, are available.[4] Interstate fares were raised from $7 to $10 in January 2023, the first fare hike since at least 2010.[5][6][7]

Route edit

The ferry operates a roughly 15-minute route[8] through the Morris Canal Basin and Hudson River. After leaving the Liberty Landing Marina, the ferry makes the approximately 500 ft (150 m) crossing of the Morris Canal to the Warren Street dock. The ferry then heads out of the Morris Canal Basin, and into the Hudson River, crossing it at its southernmost point, just before it flows into Upper New York Bay. It crosses the river in a northeasterly direction, affording views of the Communipaw Terminal in Liberty State Park, Downtown Jersey City, and Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. It then pulls into the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, usually utilizing slip 2, which is shared with NYC Ferry's SG Route, as well as NY Waterway services to Port Imperial and Hoboken 14th Street. The ferry then does the same trip in reverse, stops at Warren Street, and terminates back at the Liberty Landing Marina, where the boat lays over for 30 minutes before departing on the next roundtrip.[9]

Docks edit

Fleet edit

Liberty Landing Ferry operates a fleet of 2 catamarans, the 46-foot (14 m) Little Lady built in 1999 by Sea Taxi Catamarans, and the 64.9-foot (19.8 m) Little Lady II built in 2007, also by Sea Taxi Catamarans, on one route.[14][15] In regular service, only the Little Lady II operates. Both ferries have top decks with bench seating.[16][17]

Ownership and other companies edit

Liberty Landing Ferry is part of Statue Cruises (which in turn is affiliated with Hornblower Cruises), which also operates ferries to Ellis Island and Liberty Island from Liberty State Park near the Liberty Landing Ferry's slip at the Liberty Landing Marina, and Battery Park in Manhattan.[18][19] The Battery Park City Ferry Terminal is also used by NY Waterway and NYC Ferry. Other commuter and tourist ferries operating in the Port of New York and New Jersey include the seasonal ferries to Governor's Island,[20] New York Water Taxi,[21] Seastreak,[22] and the Staten Island Ferry.[23] Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises[24] runs sightseeing tours throughout the port.
