About the East 90th St – Astoria crossing

Thirty-seven departures split into exactly two groups: twenty on weekdays and seventeen at weekends. The two groups run on entirely separate calendars, so a Saturday timetable here has nothing in common with a Tuesday one but the pier.

The weekday service starts before six

06:03 against the first weekend boat at 08:58 — nearly three hours. The weekend runs later at the other end — 20:54 against 20:25 — but the morning is where the difference bites.

Six minutes across the East River

0.5 nautical miles from the Upper East Side landing at 90th Street over to Astoria in Queens. The flat $4.00 fare applies whatever the distance, which on a crossing this short makes it the expensive end of the network per mile and the cheap end per minute saved.

6 July 2026 to 31 December 2027

An eighteen-month listing. Long validity on NYC Ferry reflects a stable pier map rather than a promise — ice and weather close East River landings more often than schedule changes do.
