Weekend Schedule

Governors Island:

Due to maintenance work at Pier 102 on Governors Island (where NYC Ferry docks), all riders wishing to visit the Island will need to transfer to a ferry shuttle at Pier 11/ Wall Street that will take them directly to Yankee Pier on Governors Island. Riders on all routes will need to transfer to this ferry shuttle, which can be accessed at Slip D at Pier 11.

The ferry shuttle will not operate on a regular schedule and will pick up and drop off passengers on a continual basis. To board the ferry shuttle, all riders are required to show a valid NYCF app or paper ticket, or a transfer ticket.

To depart the island using the NYC Ferry shuttle to Pier 11/Wall Street, riders must be in the departure line at Yankee Pier by 6:00 PM. After that time, riders will be directed to take either the Governors Island ferry service to Pier 6 in Brooklyn or to the Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan.
