Soundview ↔ Rockaway

Be at Soundview before departure with your ticket ready and confirm Rockaway appears in the stop list. Boarding is first-come, beach-bound sailings can be busy, and later trips may be partial. Missing a through departure is a major delay on this route.

No. The regular NYC Ferry fare is currently $4.50 one way, even for the full line. Buy in the app or at a landing machine. A trip back needs another fare because round trips do not qualify for free transfers.

Do not plan around ferry parking at either end. NYC Ferry says parking is very limited near most landings and does not list a ferry lot at Rockaway. Use the Bx27 or Bx39 at Soundview and the Q22, A/S train connection, bicycle or drop-off at Rockaway.

Yes, if the rack has room. NYC Ferry vessels generally carry about eight to ten bicycles and may stop bike boarding when full. A personal bike is useful at Rockaway, but sunny beach sailings can fill the rack before all waiting bicycles board.

Yes on a through run. The boat calls at East 90th, East 34th, Stuyvesant Cove, Pier 11 and Sunset Park/BAT before Rockaway. Stay aboard throughout, but verify the live stop list because late partial trips may not serve both endpoints.

NYC Ferry's September 28 through October 2, 2026 Sukkot timetable ranged from 114 to 121 minutes across both directions. That was a dated holiday pattern, so use the live paired arrival and check the final return for your actual date.

The ferry lands at Beach 108th Street and Beach Channel Drive. NYC Ferry lists the Q22 two blocks south and the A/S trains near Beach 105th Street. The operator also posts a shuttle schedule, but warns that shuttle capacity is significantly limited.

Check both ferry and shuttle times before leaving the landing. The trip is nearly two hours, later runs can be partial, and the Rockaway shuttle may fill. Board the specific return boat whose stop list reaches Soundview, not merely one heading toward Manhattan.
