Travel to New York

In recent years, shared boat or launch services have proliferated in New York. Which allow you to go from one point to another by sea. Although there are several shared boat services, with different companies operating on the East River or the Hudson, today I am going to talk about one that allows us to get a ticket to use their services for a day as many times as we want: the Water Taxi.

How to Identify a Water Taxi?

Excursion New York by water taxi

The Water Taxi boats are easily identifiable, as they are painted yellow exactly like the New York taxis, and it is an original way of getting around New York, especially if you have bought a New York Pass tourist card because of its price The use of this service for one day is included.

Water Taxi Stops

Water Taxi has established four stops in New York, which in the order in which they are made during the tour are the following:

  • 39th Street stop, on the Hudson, right next to the Intrepid
  • Stop at Battery Park, next to the World Trade Center
  • Pier 11 stop, near Wall Street or South Street Seaport
  • Stop at Brooklyn Bridge Park, right next to the River Cafe or the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

Finally, the boat returns to the initial stop but before that, it will stop for a few minutes at the Statue of Liberty so you can take some pictures with Lady Liberty, before going up the entire Hudson.

Journey Time and Recommendations

The entire journey takes about an hour and a half if you don’t get off at any of the 4 Water Taxi stops. And it’s a great way to see all of New York from the sea. If you have the New York Pass and your hotel is located in Midtown, I recommend the following plan:

  • Get the ticket for the Water Taxi in Brooklyn Bridge Park. After crossing the bridge and getting to know all this area and DUMBO.
  • Take the boat and go to 39th street, the boat trip will take approximately the same as if you did it by subway with the advantage that you have another perspective of New York from the water. It also leaves you right next to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, so it can be a good time to visit it or to return to your hotel.
  • Get back on the boat and go to Battery Park and go visit the Financial District and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

Water Taxi Hours

  • From 10 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon, with departures every half hour / forty minutes approximately.

Rates (the year 2019)

  • Unlimited rides for one day Adult: $37
  • Unlimited rides for one day Children (3-12 years): $31
  • It is included in the New York Pass tourist card.
