NY Waterway Restores Weekend Ferries From Hoboken And Weehawken

HOBOKEN, NJ — As New York City reopens its attractions, NY Waterway is restoring weekend ferry service from Port Imperial in Weehawken and 14th Street in Hoboken to the Midtown West 39th Street Ferry Terminal. This will return the ferry company to seven-day-a-week operations starting this Saturday, after routes were cut amid coronavirus.

Ferries between Weehawken and Hoboken and West 39th Street will run every 30 minutes from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Visit nywaterway.com/weekends for complete schedules.

Port Imperial also offers low-cost parking for those who want to take the ferry from there to Manhattan instead of driving through the Lincoln Tunnel and parking in New York.

At West 39th Street, free NY Waterway buses are waiting for each arriving ferry to take customers throughout Midtown Manhattan. To get back to the ferry, customers can use the Bus Locator on the free NY Waterway App, available at nywaterway.com and see in real time where their buses are.

Port Imperial is served by NJ Transit buses and the $2.25 Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. Several New Jersey terminals offer free or low-cost parking, plus NJ Transit bus and Light Rail service.

To protect the health and safety of passengers and employees:

• All customers and employees must wear face coverings;
• All NY Waterway ferries and buses have marked seating for social distancing;
• All ferries and buses are cleaned after every run and terminals are cleaned throughout the day;
• All ferries, buses and terminals are thoroughly deep cleaned and sanitized every night.

NY Waterway also has service to Brookfield Place/Battery Park City from Port Imperial, 14th Street in Hoboken, the Hoboken/NJ Transit Terminal and from Paulus Hook and Liberty Harbor in Jersey City.

Ferries also run weekdays between Port Imperial, the Hoboken/NJ Transit Terminal, Paulus Hook and Liberty Harbor and Pier 11/Wall Street.

Ferry service from Belford/Middletown in Monmouth County makes stops at Pier 11/Wall Street, Brookfield Place/Battery Park City and West 39th Street.
