About the Brookfield Place Terminal – Midtown / W. 39th St. crossing

Two departures a day, and they are not the boats most people mean. This is NY Waterway’s service to Midtown West 39th Street: sailings at 08:45 and 09:45, Monday to Friday only, across 2.8 nautical miles in 10 minutes.

Two operators, one street

NYC Ferry also serves West 39th Street, from Pier 79, and runs forty departures each way on the same nominal pairing. Different company, different berth, different ticket. Turning up at the wrong one is easy and the walk between them is not trivial.

Why so few

A two-sailing weekday timetable is not a shrunken version of a bigger service — it is a specific commuter offering, timed for people arriving in the Financial District in the morning. There is no midday, evening or weekend boat on this route at all.

Check the operator before the hour

Because both services list the same street, a search for a departure time will surface both. The one at 08:45 or 09:45 is this one; the frequent all-day service belongs to the other pier. The listed plan runs to 31 December 2027.

Vehicles, pets & onboard

  • High-speed catamarans
  • Free connecting Manhattan buses
  • App & 10-trip/monthly tickets
  • Bikes carried free

Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
