Sooo much better than the terminal on the NYC side. Clean, comfortable, places to eat and drink,…read moreetc. Ferries are clean and fast. Just knocking one star off for how expensive the round trip ferry and parking is: $9.50 each way, and, basically $10-20 for parking garage. (See photos for details.) Otherwise, it's the best way to commute to NYC.

Our car was vandalized at Little Man's Port Imperial garage recently, on both of the sides of the…read morecar and the back of it. The garage has a some cameras but has no visible security patrol. It is poorly lit in many places. The North and South garage are managed by the same company, Little Man, and they a lot of garages in the NYC area. We used the North. The unattended garages have no dedicated security patrol. We observed what seems like a playground for mischief on the day we found the damage -- groups of kids on bicycles, and even motorcycles (without license plates) cruising around the garage. Some seemed to check out the place and park for free. Cars also were observed to be speeding around the garage. Our weekend calls to both the ferry company and Littleman parking office were not staffed, so there was no way to easily reach anyone in an emergency. Just voicemail. We reached the office manager on Monday 9/23/24 who said no liability (read contract) and she will review tapes. We also called the supervisor (Carlos, 201-217-1683) to talk about our observations and concerns -- and the damage to the car. We left a message for Carlos with our number for him to call back about the damage. Days went by and we didn't get a call back. So we called the main NJ office again a week later (9/30/24). We spoke to the person who answered and told him we didn't hear back. He said he would contact Carlos and have him call us. Again no reply from the supposed, "supervisor" Carlos or anyone. It's been two weeks since we tried to reach him. There has also been no word about the result of the office review of the tapes by the garage salesperson who works Monday - Friday. She did offer to let us go through the tapes ourself. But that is not easy mid week and they should be doing it and reporting back. Again it's been several weeks and nothing. No word. No supervisor. The car itself was parked in clear view of a camera, although the date of the vandalism is not known since the garage never even observed the damage before we contacted them. The damage was only observed by us when attempting to retrieve the car. It seems they take no responsibility and don't even want to discuss our security concerns. This is very disappointing and very lacking in security and seriousness. The garage is dimly lit and feels neglected. The lack of concern by Little Man is very noteworthy. Of course they should take responsibility for the issues at the garage. But they have not demonstrated responsible behavior or addressed the seriousness of the issue, which seems systemic.

Not a full service ferry station - it's little more than a pier and a printed poster with a…read moreschedule of the ferry times. They don't sell tickets here, nor do they sell tickets on board the boat - instead you'll have to download the NY Waterway mobile app to buy tickets. Alternatively, you might be able to buy a ticket at the Sheraton Hotel across the street, but that might be only for hotel guests. The ferry into NYC is super quick - about 6 mins during rush hour. However, the downside is that the connecting shuttle bus in NYC (included in the $9 price of the ferry ticket) does not leave right away, but rather waits at the NYC terminal for about 5-6 mins until the bus gets more full. Not a dealbreaker, but still a gripe. There are different routes for the shuttle - downtown / midtown / etc., so make sure to read the sign before boarding the bus. They are parked directly outside the terminal. From the Lincoln Harbor terminal to Flatiron district in NYC door to door is roughly 30 mins. (6 mins river crossing + 1 min walk to bus + 6 mins wait time at bus + bus travel through NYC traffic). Price per person is $9 one-way (cheaper if you buy monthly passes). For a cheaper (but more cumbersome) alternative route, consider walking to the Lincoln Harbor Light Rail stop (about a 4 min walk - near the Weehawken Whole Foods), then take the light rail to Hoboken terminal. Get off, walk to the PATH, and then take the PATH into NYC. This way will cost $5 per person each way (so about half what the ferry costs), but it involves significantly more walking and waiting (especially if you miss the light rail, which runs every 12-15 mins weekdays into Hoboken - and doesn't stop at Hoboken on the weekends).

Great potential, but terrible follow through. The NY Waterway is definitely he quickest way to get…read morefrom Weehawken to Midtown; it only costs $9 bucks. However, there are many cons aside from the 7 minute ride. The ferry was in poor condition that I was on, it just appears dirty and dingy. Once I reached Midtown-- the boat returning to NJ looked a lot better, so maybe it's hot or miss. The ferry driver/ticket man didn't seem to have many social skills, and just wasn't friendly in the least. This was our first time riding and since they don't sell tickets onboard, we had issues with the app to purchase the tickets. He seemed flustered about that after we told him the app gave us all an issue. He then proceeded to stare at his watch while we were talking-- I understand you have a schedule to keep, but be a decent human being. All and all, it's a rapid way to travel, it's probably too expensive for such a short ride, the boat seems raggedy--- but again, it's an extremely quick way to travel that surely beats the NJ Transit bus.

From the moment we boarded, everything felt well-organized and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the check-in and seating process smooth. The real highlight, of course, was the view. Seeing the skyline from the water gives you an entirely different appreciation for the city's architecture and scale. Passing by iconic landmarks while listening to the live narration added a lot of depth to the experience. Our tour guide, Andrew, was especially knowledgeable about the history of the city--he shared fascinating facts, stories, and context that really brought each landmark to life, all while keeping things engaging and easy to follow. The boat itself was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to move around and take photos. Whether you prefer sitting inside or enjoying the open-air deck, there's a good spot for everyone. I especially appreciated how unhurried the cruise felt; there was enough time to soak in each sight without feeling rushed. I'd highly recommend the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise to both visitors and locals--it's a relaxing, informative, and scenic way to see the city from a whole new angle.

The guy checking the tix insisted on not letting me in bc I bought ticket departing from Hoboken south instead of north. I mean it is the same price for Hoboken South and North, both are $7 (which is a ridiculous price by the way) and what can you lose to let me in? I'm not paying less anyways (or does the Hoboken south ticket revenue not contribute to your salary?) End of the story: since I already activated the tix, I have no choice but walking all the way back to the "correct" station: Hoboken south (which is a long walk and is ironically exactly why I want to take the water taxi at Hoboken "North"), and guess what, the ticket has already expired aka they wasted 7 dollars of me.
