About

Go Ferry Go

Read full description

Go Ferry Go is a map of the NYC Ferry network and the next boats from every pier. TAP A PIER Every pier gives you its departure board: which line, where the boat is headed, and when it leaves. Times say where they came from: a live estimate from the boat, or a timetable time, which is not a prediction. TAP A LINE Follow a line end to end: every stop in travel order with its time, so you can see the whole ride before you take it. WATCH THE BOATS Vessels appear on their lines as they run, drawn from the operator's live positions. THE RIGHT MAP FOR THE DAY Weekday and weekend service are different networks, so the app draws the one that is actually running today. WHERE THE TIMES COME FROM Timetables and live positions come from NYC Ferry's own free public GTFS and GTFS-Realtime data feeds, published by the operator. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING No sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no location access. The app asks your phone for nothing and sends nothing about you anywhere. An independent app. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to NYC Ferry, its operator, or any other ferry app.
