From Google Maps reviews.
Best Ferry to get if you want to view the Statue Of Liberty. It’s free, gets you right next to it and only takes 20mins there and 20mins back. Also gives you a chance to explore Staten Island too. Don’t fall for the tourist traps outside and on the way to the terminal, they will say anything to make you buy a ticket for a random ferry. Stick with this one and don’t believe them
Fantastic free service. It was on time and all staff were very helpful. It was also one of the smoothest ferry’s I have ever been on. I still can’t believe this service is free. I would recommend this as a budget friendly way of looking at the Statue of Liberty. At night it’s even prettier to look back on Manhattan and watch it light up.
Check out lower Manhattan from the water and take the Staten Island Ferry over and back. It's free, and you'll get the very best photos of NYC.
