NYC Ferry operated by Hornblower aims to provide a new, affordable way to travel between waterfront communities throughout New York City. The six routes span over 60 nautical miles of waterways and will connect the New Yorkers and visitors to the city’s waterfront communities – including neighborhoods, job centers, and parks. 

NYC Ferries are 86 ft. long, offering riders more space during their commute. All NYC Ferries also feature washrooms, cup holders, charging outlets and work tables onboard.  

Ferries are primarily built out of aluminum, a lightweight material that increases fuel efficiency. The fleet of 27 vessels is built with an equivalent of over 77 million cans of aluminum.  

All ferries are equipped with ultra-efficient T3 engines to reduce emissions and we’re introducing the first T4 vessels in our fleet soon.

The innovative hull design will limit wakes and maximize fuel efficiency.

There are 129 seats on the lower deck and 28 seats on the upper deck of our 150 passenger vessels. There are 162 seats on the lower deck and 182 seats on the upper deck of our 350 passenger vessels.
