East 90th St ↔ Stuyvesant Cove

Reach the dock before the posted departure with your ticket ready and confirm Rockaway–Soundview on the board. East 90th also serves Astoria boats, so the route name matters. Boarding is first-come, and missing this sailing can erase the time saved on the water.

The regular NYC Ferry fare is currently $4.50 one way. Buy in the app or at a landing machine. This is one boat, so no transfer is needed; a ride back is another fare because round trips do not qualify as free transfers.

Do not plan around parking at either dock. NYC Ferry says parking is very limited near most landings and discourages driving. East 90th works better with the M31 or M86-SBS; Stuyvesant Cove works better with the M9, M23-SBS, bicycle or a waterfront walk.

Yes, while the vessel rack has room. NYC Ferry generally carries about eight to ten bicycles and may stop accepting them when full. Both landings list racks and nearby Citi Bike stations, and Stuyvesant Cove opens directly onto the East River greenway.

It is one boat with East 34th Street in between. Stay aboard there; no transfer is needed. Toward downtown, Stuyvesant Cove follows East 34th. Northbound, East 90th follows East 34th before the boat continues into the Bronx.

NYC Ferry's September 28 through October 2, 2026 Sukkot timetable scheduled 21 to 27 minutes across both directions. That was a dated holiday pattern, so use the live paired arrival for another date.

The landing is at East 90th Street and FDR Drive. NYC Ferry lists the M31 and M86-SBS near East 88th Street, while the Q train is at East 86th and Second Avenue. That inland leg is real, so include it when comparing the ferry with a bus-only trip.

The dock is at East 20th Street and FDR Drive. NYC Ferry lists the M9 and M23-SBS at Avenue C and East 20th, the M34A-SBS at East 23rd and First Avenue, and several SIM buses nearby. The subway is not at the gangway.
