But great if you're spending a few days at the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor or in Hoboken. Buy tickets in NYC if you can; they're cheaper and more available.

This is a great way to get across the river but its not cheap. If you want cheap, stick with the PATH or the bus.

A very quick trip to Manhattan with no bridge backups. Buses take you to the area you want to go to and pick you up for the return.

Ferry is very timely. It is also clean and gives you a great scenic view of the Manhattan skyline. Beats sitting in traffic on the West Side Highway!

Very easy and fast way to get from Weehawken (and Hoboken) to different places at Manhattan. ATTENTION !! You have to buy tickets at the hotel. Buy only one at the hotel and all the others at the terminal at Manhattan (much cheaper).

On time, comfortable if a little pricey for the 5 min boat ride. But the views are incredible! What a way to commute!

It is a quick 6 minute trip to Manhattan from the Lincoln Harbor. We have traveled the ferry many times and it is very convenient and always runs on schedule.

Easy commute to NY - with free buses in Mahattan - I can't go back and use the NJ bus after this. The parking is plenty and they will open another garage builidng soon. The trip takes less than 10 min to midtown and about 20 to downtown (wall street area). No hassle and plenty of seats on the ferry.
