North Williamsburg ↔ Dumbo/Fulton Ferry

Be at the dock before departure with your ticket ready. Boarding is first-come, and fair-weather boats can fill. Use North 6th and Kent in Williamsburg and Old Fulton at Furman in DUMBO. A and Local sailings serve both stops; B skips North Williamsburg.

The current regular fare is $4.50 one way, bought in the app or at a landing machine. Intermediate Williamsburg stops remain one ride. A return trip needs another fare; the free transfer window is for changing NYC Ferry routes, not reversing on the same line.

Parking is the awkward choice at both ends. NYC Ferry says spaces are very limited near most landings and discourages driving. North Williamsburg has the B32, B62, Q59 and the inland L. DUMBO has the B25 plus a walk from the F, A/C or 2/3.

Yes while the outdoor rack has room. NYC Ferry lists typical capacity at about eight to ten bicycles. Both landings have racks and Citi Bike nearby. The Brooklyn waterfront greenway is a useful fallback when the ferry wait or bike queue is longer than the ride.

Yes on East River A and Local sailings. A goes straight from North Williamsburg to DUMBO; Local calls at South Williamsburg first. Across compatible current weekday and weekend rows, examples take about 12 to 21 minutes. East River B is not your boat.

At Old Fulton Street and Furman Street beside Brooklyn Bridge Park. The B25 is close; the F at York, A/C around Cadman Plaza and 2/3 around Clark Street all require a waterfront walk. Add cobbles and the hill when luggage or mobility matters.

Yes. The route approaches DUMBO beneath the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge skyline, though the exact angle changes by direction and deck position. Treat it as public transit with an excellent view, not a guaranteed sightseeing seat, especially on a crowded weekend boat.

Trip planners optimize around the next actual departure, so a long ferry headway can produce an odd-looking land route. The two docks share A and Local service. Check the official paired times first, then compare the complete wait rather than only the minutes aboard.
