$18 roundtrip ferry ride was well worth it to avoid traffic driving in/out of NYC.
The ferry was on schedule and was quick to board and exit.

I stopped by for a Shades of Autumn tour. The female staff at the ticket counter was not friendly, it was inconvenient to buy tickets online only, and it was sad that there were no senior ticket offers at all.
The Ferry is a quick and relaxing 7 minute ride. It’s my new favorite way to hop in to Midtown. Route runs 7-Days a week and all day between Port Imperial in Weehawken, NJ and Midtown/W. 39 St. Free connecting shuttle bus service is available to and from Midtown terminal.
Port Imperial Terminal is located directly across from the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.
No traffic, no tolls. Dog’s are welcome to take the ride too!

9$ ferry ride back to port imperial nice view from New York City back to Jersey. Ride is about 8 minutes long super quick but a nice cool way of getting back to Jersey and much quicker then bus, uber, or driving.
Opportunitistic profit focus in dire times!!
I live a reasonable walking distance uphill from the terminal and work in midtown. I am part of a very small core in the large company where I work who NEVER stopped working.
I wanted to use the ferry during the Covid epidemic because it’s much safer than the bus due to the massive space and outdoor seating option but it closed when less people were using it. I thought that perhaps they closed because it was not profitable and not just as a public safety measure. You see; the buses are incredibly more risky than the large, open ferry.
I was happy to see service resume on 6/29 only to discover that they canceled monthly subscription services which makes the service extremely expensive for daily commuters. Especially for someone who works weekends as well and has to find other means also.
This is decision seems focused on profit opportunism at at time of great uncertainty and crisis. I am extremely disappointed.
Unfortunately, I feel compelled to continue using the ferry because it’s safer than buses. It will cost me significantly more than it should. I am happy to have a job while massive layouts and closures are taking place. This is disgraceful and disappointing to see.

The space is well maintained. Beware: I ordered a tea from the cafe and was told it was $2.50. The vendor charged 3.00 to my card.
One of my favorite ways to get into the the city but it is relatively expensive. If you are in a rush and can get the ferry schedule down you can save considerable time taking the ferry into Manhattan. I would say the ferry is extremely expensive, but when considering the fact that NY Waterway also offers bus service on the New Jersey and Manhattan sides it's not so bad. You would save a few bucks (maybe $3) by taking NJ transit bus and MTA subway/bus if you're heading over to the east side. It all depends on your destination so be sure to check their bus schedules as well.
Always a great experience people always helpful, the place is usually clean. Best way to go to NYC from Edgewater n surrounding areas. #localguide #La2NYC
Civilized travel
There is one good thing about this ferry - it's fast. Having said that, the rest is, sadly, poor.
The boats are in poor shape:: they are constantly breaking down, which means that some scheduled trips simply don't happen. Or your trip becomes much longer, because extra stops are required to cover some other routes broken boat.
I commute regularly using this ferry, but this summer 60-70%of the trips did not have air conditioning. Crew response always the same: it just broke.
Some of the newer boats are also very load. I loaded a sound meter on my phone, and measure 80 decibles. That can cause pain, and forget conversation.
Communication to to customers is practically non existant. A boat is late? Not coming? Making extra stops? No announcement. If customers complain, a notice *might* be put up on the phone app after the fact. But don't expect advance warning.
And them there is cost - VERY high. $26 round trip per person is a lot. A family of four, over $100 just to get to the city.
It feels like someone is saving money in all the wrong ways: poor maintenance work out equipment.
How.long until this causes a major disaster???

The price is very inclusive especially in winter and when you’re in a hurry . The ferry always runs on schedule and saves you the hassle of the tunnel traffic .
On the weehawken side the bus drivers are great and always happy . Gets busy during rush hour .

It’s a nice facility. Smooth transition. Parking garage (when complete) will be nice.
Very convenient and relatively reasonably priced place to park a car and take the ferry to a number of key points in Manhattan through the New York Waterways Service. Plus, you can find incredible views of Midtown Manhattan here. Highly recommend.
Clean facility
