NYC Ferry Partial Service Start on Wednesday, 2/11
NextNYC Ferry is pleased to announce a partial resumption of service following a closure due to unprecedented ice conditions. We have been monitoring every landing throughout this closure to determine when and where we can safely and reliably restart service. While many landings continue to see fluctuations in ice formation, some landings along the western edge of the East River and the Bronx have become more consistently clear, making them reliable to operate for NYC Ferry.
We are excited to announce that tomorrow, Wednesday, February 11, we will begin operating a modified Rockaway-Soundview route with the following landings in service:
- Ferry Point Park
- Soundview
- East 90th Street
- East 34th Street
- Stuyvesant Cove
- Wall St./Pier 11

Sunset Park/BAT and Rockaway are still impacted by changing ice conditions and will remain closed. All other routes/landings will also remain closed tomorrow. We are hopeful that as temperatures rise this week, we will be able to re-open other routes in the coming days.
While we are excited to welcome riders back and provide the reliable service you depend on, there may still be some lingering effects from the ice. As a result, delays or temporary adjustments are possible.
For the latest information and real-time updates, please check ferry.nyc. Please see below for additional information about service. We look forward to seeing some of you on board starting Wednesday and thank you in advance for your cooperation as we get back underway!
See you soon,
The NYC Ferry Team
Frequently Asked Questions
- When will other routes be operational? NYC Ferry continues to monitor landings daily. We will continue to inform riders towards the end of each day about routes and landings that will open the following day. As temperatures rise, we anticipate more landings and routes will resume service in the coming days.
- Why is the schedule different? As previously communicated, marine construction at East 34th Street requires that we change schedules to reduce vessel congestion at the landing. We anticipate this schedule will be in place through February 20th for all routes as they resume service.
- Will the Ferry Point Park shuttle be operational tomorrow? No, but we anticipate it will return to service in the coming days.
