About the East 90th St – Soundview crossing
Thirty-two departures, split into two timetables that barely overlap. On weekdays the first boat leaves East 90th Street at 06:46 and the last at 20:45; at weekends nothing sails before 09:45, but the service runs later, to 21:25. Same pier, same route, three hours’ difference at the start of the day.
Nineteen minutes, and a flat fare
The crossing to Soundview takes 19 minutes over about 4.5 nautical miles of the East River, at a fare of $4.00. NYC Ferry prices by ride rather than by distance, so this is the same as any other trip in the system — which makes a longer route like this one comparatively good value.
Weekday is the commuter pattern
Seventeen of the thirty-two sailings run Monday to Friday, and their spacing tightens around the start and end of the working day. The fifteen weekend departures are spread more evenly, because weekend demand is not concentrated into two peaks.
Planning ahead
The current timetable is valid from 6 July 2026 and carries no near-term end date, so it is stable enough to build a routine around. Service changes on this network are usually announced rather than slipped in, but weather disruption on the East River is a separate matter and not something a published schedule can predict.
