Gov. Island/Yankee Pier ↔ Red Hook/Atlantic Basin

Get to the correct queue before departure and leave a cushion for first-come boarding. On through South Brooklyn service, Red Hook is the next stop from Yankee Pier, but weekend patterns can remove the island stop entirely. Check the live app before crossing Governors Island to the dock.

A regular NYC Ferry ticket is currently $4.50 one way, sold in the app and at landing machines. A same-direction transfer at Pier 11 is free within 120 minutes if the current pattern requires one. Trust for Governors Island Brooklyn service is separate, so its reservation or ticket is not your NYC Ferry fare.

There is no NYC Ferry municipal lot at Red Hook; Brooklyn Army Terminal is the system landing with a nearby municipal lot. Street and private parking around Atlantic Basin can change with cruise ships and events, so do not treat a forum's easy-parking day as policy. The B61, bicycle or a planned drop-off is safer.

Yes, subject to the boat's roughly eight-to-ten-bike capacity. Once the rack is full, crew may ask you to wait. Bikes normally stay outdoors on the bow. Red Hook has bike racks at the landing and several Citi Bike docks along Van Brunt, Coffey and Columbia streets.

Yes when the same South Brooklyn boat serves both: Red Hook is the adjacent stop, with no transfer. NYC Ferry's September 28 through October 2, 2026 Sukkot timetable scheduled that morning hop at 6 to 7 minutes, then dropped Governors Island from later boats. Check the live stop list because that was a dated exception, not an all-day promise.

The landing is at Ferris Street and Clinton Wharf. NYC Ferry lists the B61 at Van Brunt and King streets; the F/G stop at Smith–Ninth Streets is a much longer walk. Red Hook is one place where the ferry can be the easy leg, so map the final blocks before boarding.

Yes. The Trust schedules seasonal weekend and holiday service from Red Hook and Pier 6, separate from NYC Ferry. That can be a useful alternative, but the ticket, departure point and timetable are the Trust's. Match the operator to the line you join and do not mix the two schedules.

NYC Ferry lists 176 Pioneer Street as the accessible pickup and drop-off point, not the broad Clinton Wharf description. Use that exact address for the vehicle connection. The landing has a covered waiting area, but no restroom in the waiting area, so plan the handoff rather than lingering.
