This is the best thing to happen to Soundview. We easily bought our tickets on the app. The ride to Wall street was 45 minutes. The parking near Soundview Ferry is terrible though. I would suggest using public transportation to get there. The views were amazing and the staff was great.
Really cheap, you can appreciate the city in one of these for 2.75
The water is nice and the staff in the ferry very nice
This is a great thing for my City. Great way to get around with great views for an incredible price.
One of the Best things for the BX. Alternative mode of transportation. Clean commute on the water. They have a selection of alcoholic beverages as well. Can be downtown by wall street in forty minutes with several stops along the way
Beautiful terminal where we can access Down Town Manhattan in approximately 30 minutes by boat or ferry.
The terminal itself on the jetty is clean and has seating and coverage but the entrance from the street needs some work and fine tunning and you can see the initial stages of that.Cant beat the views from the jetty and on the journey to 90th st.
Bronx couldnt ask for more, perfect place to take your friends and family for a ride.*Here are few good to know info B 4 go there:*So if U look @ da timing, they run on every 20/30 min. 1 way cost $2.75 N it took about N hour each way. N bicycle for additional $1FYI --------------1: Download the NYC Ferry app so U can purchase ticket N look at the schedule N get alert.2: U can purchase the ticket on the station OR pay in cash boarding, this process will force U to enter at last.3: Get on the 2nd floor which is open view to have the best experience. 1st floor is AC N glassed door aroud.4: Have ur ticket ahead of the time N stand on the *LINE* cuz 2nd floor has about 22 seat only. But U can stand there no restrictions.5: all of u have to stand on the line, no family reference. If u r not on the lime u come last. Cuz boat can take max 150 ppl so if u r last U gotta wait for next boat. We were 10 ppl N they had 9 seat so we had to wait for the next 1.6: if u r gonna drive to soundview, have some extra time in hand cuz finding a parking spot is tuff.7: while dropping off someone make sure to stay by ur car cuz police are always there N giving tickets.8: if u r planning to come back in da same boat, u gonna have get off N get in da line. They wont allow U to stay in.
This place is hard to navigate in order to buy the tickets for new customers but it was okay. And Everyone should try to take the ferry and enjoy the waters of nyc.
Love the Views, excellent customer service, very clean boat ride and they serve snacks, beers too!
Hornblower came THROUGH for the Bronx. The southeast Bronx has been lacking in viable transportation, and NYC Ferry/Hornblower has made it accessible for these communities to get to work and offer a fulfilling experience for the same price as a metrocard.Plus, does your subway car have a bathroom or serve beer? Right.Worth noting that there is NO parking as it is meant to be a local commuter location.
Nice open space. Clean. Nice stable dock unlike some that move with the water, which is fine for me, but some people dont like that. Then again, the water was very calm last night so maybe thats why it didnt move.
It was good bro, I could go on the ferry every day if I had the chance.
Very cool to take the ferry from here. Make sure to take the ferry towards Wallstreet, the other one goes in the wrong direction.
Close to Rockaway beach and with easy access whether you are walking, have a stroller or need wheelchair accessibility
I enjoy taking the ferry to the city instead of the train. Always clean, rarely any delays (if there are it’s only a few minutes), only crowded during rush hour and even then there still a good amount of space. Each stop, on the Soundview line, is stroller friendly. The 90th street stop is, but you have to do extra walking to avoid the stairs.
Except for the loud music around clason point this statiom is nice
Nice comfortable ride with great views of our city.
Great way to travel in New York. Fast and scenic
Still needs some work but its perfect for joggers, walkers and families to have bbqs
Awesome !!!!!! Took the white plains road bus and walked a block Highly recommend if you have some time to kill on your way to Manhattan you wont regret it for sure
The view from the ferry heading downtown is amazing at this stop! Although the weather was pretty chilly, my family and I enjoyed taking pictures on the top deck.
Loved the ride. Courteous staff!
It was a really nice ride to take. I enjoyed myself.
Park gives a relaxing vibe. Doesnt get too crowded. Best kept secret in the Bronx
Another hidden gem in the bronx many dont know. Have you ever wanted to still along the east river in a boat? Well theres the sound view terminal. Where you can take a ferry for 2.75 each way as far brooklyn. Me I went down to the seaport area for a margarita of course. Especially if you have kids this is a fun way for them to view their city. At night the light are so bright and you get to go under many of new yorks famous bridges. Nothing to do than this trip is for you.
I have to take a bus a couple stops to ferry. Like using the ferry, I only have to cross the street at wall Street to my job. Can see my building from ferry. Only wish that we can get a transfer if we have to use MTA in route. Hopefully that will come. It can become costly for a person that lives in a two fare zone. My only complaint is the Ferry Point Park boat needs to use their bigger boats during rush hour using smaller boats and having more routes doesnt makes sense. There is a lot of people that have to stand early in the morning.
A very easy way to get to the Bronx, 50 minutes travel, clean, fast, not crowded at all. I really love it. And yes the 2.75 is very cheap for the great service
So beautiful. Good to see the people out and about
Great views! Convenient ride into the city!
It is definitely a much nicer public transport than the subway. But there are several problems. DELAYS. Do not trust this transport if you need to be on time. There are like 30 minutes delays and there is only one stop in the Bronx
Beautiful view , nice fresh air. Love it, my first ride, planning to travel again soon .
I live 10 blks away easy access to the city
Beautiful view. Definitely coming back here again.
Easy on and off boarding. Safety masks required.
The staff was great! The ride was great and it is well maintained.
Love the ride, really recommend it as a regular ride or as an adventure in and out of the city, you see the boroughs in a new way.
A calm start to a ferry ride at the edge of the Bronx with a calming view. If ever there is an escape to your life for a moment this is it.
Best thing ever, you can be in Manhattan in 15mins. Brooklyn bridge park in 30mins. If you live in the area you know the train is kinda far. NYC ferry should but a bathroom here.
Awesome to take a view the New York skyline.
I refuse to ride the bus and subway!I have an electric bike so I ride it everywhere in the Bronx and Harlem, but whenever I gotta run into the city past 96 street I ride my bike to the ferry and then I ride home on the return trip.I love it’s always on time and the staff are nice and will hold the loading dock if they see you running to catch the ferry if you happen to be a little late.
Why does it say 8 hours to get to that station I live in the Bronx?
Love it the best transportation in the summer
The view is great. This place is good for taking pictures
Like 👍 it
I like visit this place everytime I got the chance
Nice spot for family and friends. You can spend the day having a BBQ or family get together event or just relax and sight see. My brother and I actually took a kite stuck in a tree repaired it and that gave us another hour of entertainment and time to kill
Love it. Take it to Wall St then hop on the Rockaway ferry to the beach. Have s beer or coffee while your riding it.
Had some sad times during Covid, I jumped on 39 bus and rode till last stop at any time in the day, not knowing Soundview park near ferry was so peaceful ❤️ This became my tranquility spot to meditate 🧘♀️ Can’t wait for summer weekends and I’m gone😁
The water taxi arrived on time. The view of the bridge in the background was nice. The area was clean, staff on board friendly and attentive. For $2.75, the price of the subway, it was a serene ride with some nice bonus views like a helicopter, the bridge and the city. Loved it.
The best way to travel to work🛳 💯🙌🏽 Just love ❤ it
Late. Off schedule & confusing. The MTA should be running it.
More seating for the elderly would be an improvement but overall a nice dock. When the waves hit the metal scraping the pier makes an awful noise and might make the weary afraid to stand on the bridge while you wait to board. There should be a better configuration on how you board. Standing in line until the boat arrives on a bridge for 20 to 30 minutes is so inconvenient, there has to be a better way.
The staff are helpful and patient. We had a really good time! There are drinks and snacks below deck and a HUGE screen television. It wasnt crowded and a truly nice experience. My granddaughter loved it!!!
Beautiful small park with a gorgeous view of the waters right next to a beautiful neighborhood.My directions would be taking the 2/5 Train to Simpson Ave and the take the BX27 bus to the ferry cause it takes to long with the BX36 Route.Ferry Rides are $2.75 each and can be bought with cash in the terminal or with the NYC Ferry App.
Theres so much potential here. The terminal is fine and serves its purpose. The surrounding park needs better upkeep.
I took the SV ferry for the first time because I had to visit Harbor High School’s open house. It was a great experience in the afternoon. I was able to purchase my ticket using the app with ease. Using the same app, I was able to track the ferry schedule and it was on time. Soundview ferry was clean and modern, with lots of seats, tv screens. I loved the access to the snacks and bathroom. The views are great and it is a relaxing experience. Sending my high schooler on this ferry would ease my mind about travel safety concerns and would shorten his trip from 120 mins (living in a deserted area of Throgs Neck and having to take a bus to the train) to under 60 mins—would be a blessing. However, metrocards are not accepted or reduced fare for students is not an option. Can not wait until the Ferry Point terminal opens in Throgs Neck and I hope that reduced fare options will be considered for students.
Great service on board. Polite security and clean rest rooms. The windows from the outside need to be cleaned in order for the passengers to get a better view of NYC and the surrounding areas.
Better work needs to be done to organize the boarding process. Customer service agents seem to sneak people ahead in line and cause much commotion for many passengers . A number system would be better. Versus having people stand in line then chaperoning select individuals to the front. Besides that the ride is the best ever as far as speed and direct service.
Such an awesome way to commute to work every morning!!Very clean and efficient ferry
It was great, went with family and friends. Its a nice way of doing siteseeng and getting to the city.
Needs parking for other Bronx residents.
The view was great and i think everyone should try to go their who ever lives in bronx cause u will be able to see the view of mannhatan, brooklyn and u will be able to see the skyscrapers.
Great idea.... but no, the parking has become terrible for the neighborhood. Why can’t I find parking across the street from my home at 8am in the morning. This is ridiculous. Whoever is in charge of this lied to the residents saying it wouldn’t affect our community parking, well it does!
Excellent for stripe bass fishing
Not a bad place to be while youre waiting for the ferry to arrive, especially during the summer.
Can there be more buses to come here? The parking spaces are full from 7am to 5pm. I wanted to take a boat, I didn’t have a parking space, I have to drive to Midtown again.
Beautiful place you should go and visit amazing view nice to take pictures.
This boat takes me straight to work. I just wished that it would start running at 6am instead of 6:30 because I have to be at work by 7am. In the afternoons when I get old work it is delayed alot of the time. The train is faster.
It was very delightful! I would like to take many trips to Manhattan and what a way to get down town very tranquil
This use to be a nice area to sit and view the water but now, it’s filthy. They smoke, leave trash and liquor bottles on the grounds.
A cool place to relax and soak in the sun ☀️and put your worries behind you and feed the seagulls and smoke 💨 a blunt and enjoy your 🎵music 🎵and just enjoy the view and chill out. ❤️✌️
Nice trip! Beautiful view! Relaxing experience!
Will never ride a subway train to manhattan ever again ...
Excellent ride very relaxing
I love that the ferry comes to the Bronx. This stop is right by a park and its only a few minutes until Manhattan. Lets not forget the bar on the ferry!
My frist time and the kids it was fun
Well it was an amazing facility in that it was wide enough to hold a good amount of people and that they had a screen that helps with the information pertaining to boat arrival times.
Awesome ferry terminal. Nice NYC view. All we need is a parking lot near by and a citibike docking station!
Fast and do not have to deal with the hassles of the subway system. If they allowed transfers between the boat and bus it would be perfect. Love it.
💖it🛳😊Smooth sailingIts better than taking the train🚅😊
This is an excellent addition of transportation for local residents as well as tourists. Adding restrooms facility would be perfect.
Area is very clean and well kept, Ferry was also clean and the staff was very friendly , accommodating and informed. Definitely a convenient and quicker option to commute .
Clean. Boat showed up a little early.
Awesome alternative to the MTA. Much rather be on the water than underground. Bronx service expanding to Throggs Neck in 2021. Hopefully City Island after that
Very nice
Great ride ,its a stress remover and its only $2.75 and transfor to rockaway. Cono
1. MORE SPACE2.THE SCHEDULE NEEDS TO BE EASIER TO READ.3.THE WINDOWS NEEDS TO BE CLEANER, THE VIEW IS A PLUS.4.THE STATIONS STOPS AND APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIME AND DEPARTURES SHOULD BE ANNOUNCE LOUDER OR CLEARER.5. THE BIG SCREEN INSIDE COULD SHOW THE NAME OF THE NEXT STATIONS AND MAYBE PLACES TO GO OR THINGS TO DO NEAR THAT SPECIFIC STATION.6.THE SING WITH THE 44 HEIGHT KIDS MUST PAY NEEDS TO BE BETTER PLACED.7.WE NEED BETTER PROTECTION FRON THE ELEMENTS.8.WI-FI FREE WI-FI. THE CITY HAS THEM, THE BUS HAVE THEM, THE TRAIN STATIONS.. SO WHY NOT THIS LOVELY FERRY.9.THE STAFF ITS GREAT.
I love to take the ferry just to fell the sea air
We loved the ride. Comfortable and relaxing. A far cry from riding the trains to the city.
I loved this commute, so much nicer than taking the train and faster.
Catch the ferry here. Nice, clean, convenient. Ferry staff is always nice and so is the ride.
Wanted to just take a ride on the ferry great view and for 2.75 thats a steal
Loved it! Fast! Very scenic! I must go in the spring time and summer time!
Awesome siting!💙
Always a smooth experience! A better alternative compared to taking the train or bus
Beautiful ride seeing all the sites
Enjoyable ride fastest way to get to Manhattan so convenient I love it
BITING WIND THAT DAY ON THE SLIP BUT PEACEFUL HAD TO FIND SHORT CUT BACK TO BROOKLYN ON MY BIKE VIA WATER FERRY .
On time nice ride and they sell beer from the tap and canned beer and snakcs
Definitely needs some heat lights to keep warm during the cold weather.
Love. Now bring one to throggsneck!
A ferry every 40min it’s not enough, we need a faster service in The Bronx don’t make exceptions just because it’s The Bronx
Love the ferry. Convenient. I take it everyday over the subway
Kind of a boring destination. But its great for the commuters. Saves so much time.
It was gorgeous.
Great ride at a great price!
Perfect
So reliable and convenient way better than the Mta
Have a ghod time there
This is the best way to travel from Manhattan to the Bronx!!!!Downtown Manhattan.
This was alot of fun not crowded and was faster then usual transpartation
Clean and very nice experience for our first time.
Take a trip into the city on the Hornblower privately-run and a wonderful Ferry ride
Great place for a romantic view of the city .
A great place to sit under a tree or by the water
This ferry is great especially, during the summer.
Love this place
A great view from the Manhattan island, (p.s am everywhere)
Clean , fast and safe. Best price.
Love the water rhey need barhrooms tho
Nice clean ferry post
It is the best ferry terminal on all of soundview.
Get there early and on time to be sure you get an seat on the boat
I love this ferry! It beats the train a million times!
Better than the HUSTLE of Going DOWNTOWN. By 🚆 Train
BEAUTIFUL PLACE. EXCELLENT SPOT TO RELAX. I RECOMMEND.
Bery good place for refreshing your mind.
Excellent! Much better than the train.
Needs a Terminal Shelter with walls for winter or stormy weather and a rest room.
Fast cheap way to get from Da Bronx to Manhattan. You cant beat it.
Quickest way to get to work and to come back home.
Convenient location and the price is super fair
I will give 5 stars so cool
Its always pleasant experience
First time there after the ferry service had been established.
Great way to get to work
Hip on hop off...head back to Manhattan via the Soundview section of the Bronx.
That’s so cool I give this 100 out of 100
The ferry is fast easy and fun.
Quick way to midtown New York City... Manhattan
Modern and Open and Easy to go on or exit the Ferry
Xcellent ride, service and courtesy. Relaxing

2022-03-01On a beautiful day like today why not take the ferry instead of the subway. Its not always the fastest or most direct route but the views are amazing 🤩.
Review №2
2022-07-03The terminal is a bit small, but its cleanliness was much appreciated. The price of a one train or bus fair to see great view of LaGuardia, and all of NYC from Long Island sound is worth it. Only took about 30 mins to reach the lower Eastside. A worthwhile trip
Review №3
2021-10-22I just love the Ferry ride to Manhattan and its so close to Home I can walk.If you want to watch the sunset this is the PERFECT spot. I take so many pictures at Soundview station.
Review №4
2021-12-18It has lovely views of the city from the north. You can see both the White Stone and Throgs Neck Bridges. Its clean and organized
Review №5
2022-06-26Very pretty but not a lot to do. Great views and cool breeze. Cute playground. Well maintained too. Took the ferry here and was fun for 30 minutes or so but a little boring after that. Still worth a trip.
Review №6
2021-09-08It is a very good place to eat, play and any activity that you like. Also, there is a ferry that you can take with just 2.75$. So, bring you girlfriend too ;).
Review №7
2021-07-20It was really nice to see a ferry link to the city. The ferry terminal is little but gives a great view of Whotestone and surrounding areas. This boat ride is worth the 2.75 100times over.
Review №8
2021-06-17I love the ride! Not overly crowded, the snacks are back and you get a view...So its always a great way to start and end your daily commute
Review №9
2021-07-02This is my preferred way to get to the city(East side)!!! Its a longer route and also limited stops but its such a nice scenic ride. All of the stops are clean and neat but especially this one. Schedules are posted. Nice beautiful park to sit and wait for your Ferry ride. The only problem is limited parking and the neighborhood around are serious about people parking in front of their houses. Cones everywhere and if you move them and park, just know your car will get messed with. Buses also get there (not sure which ones, I drive there).

2022-05-10Great views of NYC iconic Bridges and Skyline. Beautiful, clean commute to Staten island Ferry 10 min,walk from Wall St.
