About
About Rockaway
At 9.6 nautical miles the Rockaway run is the longest scheduled route in the NYC Ferry network, and the journey to Sunset Park takes 45 minutes outbound and 42 coming back. There are 47 departures a week and 45 arrivals, from 05:05 in the morning to 21:17 at night.
A second service appears only at weekends. Three sailings a week run through to Greenpoint in Brooklyn, taking 65 to 72 minutes — the longest single journey time anywhere on the network, and one that exists on Saturdays and Sundays alone.
Rockaway is a barrier peninsula on the Atlantic side of Queens, an hour and a half from Manhattan by subway because the trains run the long way round Jamaica Bay. The ferry is why this route was created: it turns a peninsula that is technically part of New York City into somewhere within commuting distance of it.
