Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about Staten Island Ferry: New York Harbor Overlook

Yes, the Staten Island Ferry is 100% free for all passengers, both residents and tourists. You do not need a ticket or MetroCard to board.
No, due to federal security regulations, all passengers must disembark upon arrival at the terminal and re-enter through the waiting room for the return trip.
Yeah! Staten Island will have an official Fan Zone at the SIUH Community Park (near the St. George Terminal). The ferry is the fastest and most exciting way to get from Manhattan to watch the games on giant seaside screens.
During peak hours it runs every 15-20 minutes, and the rest of the day every 30 minutes. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can enjoy the night views at any time.

The soul of this experience

The Staten Island Ferry is the maritime pulse of the city. In Space Journey, this node symbolizes the “Perspective of Freedom”. It’s not just a journey; It is a necessary break where the salt wind and the immensity of the port offer you an overview of the metropolis. In the Solarpunk aesthetic, it represents the efficiency of mass public transportation integrated with aesthetic contemplation. It’s where the Statue of Liberty greets you while the glass skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan seem to emerge directly from the waves.

What will you find along the way?

The journey begins at the modern **Whitehall Terminal**, a glass and steel structure that filters the harbor light. As you board one of the iconic orange ships, you will feel the roar of the engines that take you on a 25-minute journey to **St George**. During the crossing, you will pass a few meters from Liberty Island. It’s time to head out onto the outside deck to feel the breeze and capture the perfect photo of the receding Manhattan skyline. Upon arriving at Staten Island, the port welcomes you with a different calm, before embarking on the return trip that will return you to the heart of the urban bustle.

Security level

Level: High (Transit Security). The ferry is operated by the DOT and has a constant presence of the NYPD and K9 units. The terminals are under 24/7 surveillance. It is recommended not to leave luggage unattended and pay attention to security announcements during boarding. It is one of the safest ways to cross the port.

Accessibility and mobility

Grade: Gold. Both terminals (Whitehall and St. George) are fully accessible via elevators and ramps. Users with wheelchairs or strollers are recommended to use the lower boarding platform for smoother and more direct access. Ferry staff are trained to assist in the boarding process.

Golden Spot Tips

Freedom Passage. Stand on the right (starboard) side of the ferry when you leave Manhattan. Just halfway there, the ship passes its closest point to the Statue of Liberty. It is the cleanest angle to photograph Lady Liberty with the Jersey City skyline in the background.
