What To Know Before You Go

At NYC Ferry, the safety of our riders and crew is of the utmost importance. It is our objective to provide New Yorkers with a safe way to travel through the waterways of New York City. Our face-covering policy, safety-guidelines, and enhanced safety measures detailed below are designed to keep each other safe.  We’re all in this together – let’s keep each other safe.

FACE-COVERINGS ARE REQUIRED TO BOARD & RIDE NYC FERRY

 

Federal guidelines require that you must wear a mask when riding public transportation – and this is no exception with NYC Ferry. Masks are required to board and throughout the duration of your ride except for brief periods while eating, drinking, or taking oral medications. While indoors, prolonged periods of mask removal are not permitted for eating or drinking – masks must be worn between bites and sips.

Those riders under the age of 2 years are not required to wear a face-covering. Those riders with a medical condition that excludes them from wearing a mask must apply 6ft between themselves and other riders while onboard NYC Ferry.

 

RIDER GUIDELINES

• Wear your mask at all times
• Maintain 6′ social distance between yourself and other riders.
• Avoid touching your face
• Wash your hands frequently. We have hand sanitizer stations located on the main deck of all NYC Ferry boats

ENHANCED SAFETY MEASURES

During this time, NYC Ferry has enhanced our safety procedures to protect our riders and crew.

These enhanced measures include:

• Daily temperature checks of our crew
• Personal Protective Equipment provided to NYC Ferry crew members
• Social distancing boarding and riding procedures
