Atlantic Ave/BBP Pier 6 ↔ Red Hook/Atlantic Basin

Arrive before the posted departure with your ticket ready and enough time to reach the waterfront queue. Regular NYC Ferry boarding is first-come, first-served. Pier 6 sits inside Brooklyn Bridge Park rather than beside the subway, so include the walk from Borough Hall, Bergen Street or your bus stop.

A regular NYC Ferry ticket is currently $4.50 one way, bought in the app or at a landing machine. A second NYC Ferry route can be a free transfer within 120 minutes of activation, but the return trip is not. Children under 44 inches ride free with an adult.

Neither landing has the municipal lot NYC Ferry lists at Brooklyn Army Terminal. Parking is limited near most landings, and the operator discourages driving. Arrive by transit, bicycle or drop-off if possible; cruise activity and waterfront events can make Red Hook street parking especially unpredictable.

Yes, while rack space lasts. NYC Ferry boats hold roughly eight to ten bicycles, and crew may turn another bike away once capacity is reached. Bikes stay outside on the bow unless they fold to suitcase size. Both landings have bike racks and nearby Citi Bike docks.

Yes. On the current South Brooklyn pattern these are consecutive stops in both directions, with no transfer at Pier 11. That makes the ferry unusually competitive for this awkward cross-Brooklyn trip. Still read the live stop list before boarding because seasonal route patterns can change.

The published schedule usually gives this adjacent-stop hop about eight to ten minutes. Do not confuse crossing time with door-to-door time: walking through Brooklyn Bridge Park and leaving Atlantic Basin can each take longer than the boat ride. Use the exact departure and arrival shown for your date.

The landing is on the Brooklyn Bridge Park Greenway. NYC Ferry lists the B61 and B63 at Atlantic Avenue and Furman Street, the B57 near Court Street, F/G trains at Bergen Street and 4/5 trains near Borough Hall. Leave time for the final walk down to the water.

The B61 stops at Van Brunt and King streets. NYC Ferry also lists the F/G at Smith–Ninth Streets, but that is not a close subway-to-dock transfer. Map the walking leg or use a bike; the landing itself is at Ferris Street and Clinton Wharf.
