Greenpoint ↔ South Williamsburg

Arrive before departure with your ticket ready. Boarding is first-come. Greenpoint is at 10 India Street; South Williamsburg is at 440 Kent Avenue. East River B and Local trips serve both, but check the next sailing because headways matter more than this short ride.

The current regular fare is $4.50 one way, bought in the app or from a landing machine. It is one ride with no ferry transfer. A return trip needs a fresh fare, and nearby buses or subways use the separate MTA fare system.

Do not rely on it. NYC Ferry says parking is very limited near most landings and discourages driving. Greenpoint has the G and several buses inland. South Williamsburg has the B32, B62 and Q59, with the J/M/Z farther inland at Marcy Avenue.

Yes while the outdoor rack has room. NYC Ferry describes typical capacity as roughly eight to ten bicycles. Both landings list bike racks and nearby Citi Bike docks. Kent Avenue's bike network is the dependable fallback if a full rack or long headway spoils the ferry plan.

Yes on East River B and Local sailings. B runs directly between the two stops; Local inserts North Williamsburg. Across applicable current weekday and weekend rows, examples range from about 9 to 17 minutes. Check the letter and paired times for the actual sailing.

The dock is at 440 Kent Avenue. NYC Ferry lists the B62 near Division and Berry and the B32 or Q59 near Broadway and Kent. The J/M/Z at Marcy Avenue is inland, so include that walk rather than treating ferry and subway as one interchange.

No. A serves Hunters Point South and North Williamsburg instead. Greenpoint and South Williamsburg are the B pair, while Local serves the full waterfront sequence. This is exactly the kind of short trip where boarding the wrong letter turns a pleasant hop into a missed stop.

Sometimes, but only when a boat is close and has bike capacity. The crossing itself is short; waiting and walking can erase the advantage. The ferry wins for an easy, step-free waterfront ride. A bike wins for schedule control and destinations between the two piers.
