Service

SeaStreak

SeaStreak catamarans operate daily to the Raritan Bayshore in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Most journeys originate at the East 34th Street Ferry Landing with peak hour shuttle service to/from Battery Park City Ferry Terminal. After calling at Pier 11/Wall Street boats continue through The Narrows to terminals at Atlantic Highlands or Highlands.[3]

Seasonal excursions and sightseeing trips include service to Sandy Hook, Yankee Stadium, the Hudson Valley, and Martha's Vineyard.

SeaStreak formerly operated weekday commuter service to Rockaway, Queens.[4][5] The service began in November 2012 in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, which heavily damaged subway infrastructure in Queens and Brooklyn, but was discontinued in October 2014 once all repair work had been completed.[6]

NY Waterway

NY Waterway operates ferries to points along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in Hudson County, New Jersey such as Weehawken Port Imperial, Hoboken Terminal, Paulus Hook Ferry Terminal, Paulus Hook/Morris Canal Basin, and Port Liberte. Commuter service runs to Belford Harbor on the Raritan Bayshore.[7][8]

New York Water Taxi

New York Water Taxi operates the IKEA Express Shuttle to the IKEA store in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Though weekday ferry tickets start from $5, passengers who make purchases of over $10 can get a rebate on the cost of the shuttle ticket. The ferry, operated by New York Water Taxi, is still free on weekends. As of 2021^[update], the shuttle is temporarily suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.[9]

NYC Ferry

Pier 11 Wall Street is the terminal for all NYC Ferry routes, except for South Brooklyn and the St. George routes.[10] In 2016, the city drew up plans for routes to Bay Ridge, Rockaway, Governors Island, Astoria, Lower East Side, and Soundview.[11][12] On May 1, 2017, NYC Ferry's Rockaway route started operations, and NY Waterway's East River route was transferred over to NYC Ferry operation.[13] The Bay Ridge route began on June 1, a month later,[14] and the Astoria route began on August 29 of the same year.[15] The route to Soundview opened on August 15, 2018,[16] followed by the Lower East Side route two weeks later, on August 29 which was then later discontinued on May 18, 2020. Wall St/Pier 11 used to be the northern terminal for the South Brooklyn line, before the line was extended to end at Corlears Hook on May 18, 2020.[17]

Terminal building

Pier 11 contains a terminal building with 2,100 square feet (200 m²) of space for storage, retail, and offices.[18] Designed by Henry Smith-Miller and Laurie Hawkinson, along with structural engineer Arup Group, the building was completed in 2000. The structure is made of glass, structural steel, and galvanized and corrugated material; these materials were used to evoke the waterfront.[18][19] The building's entrances, on its western and eastern sides, are shaded by canopies.[18] The Architectural League of New York displayed a model of the terminal building in 2001 as part of New New York 2, an exhibit showcasing six new buildings in New York City.[20]
