Governors Island Returning to Pre-Pandemic Season Calendar

Governors Island will return to its pre-pandemic season calendar on May 1, open to visitors every day through Oct. 31, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Trust for Governors Island said Thursday.

In addition to daily Manhattan ferry service, for the first time Governors Island ferries will serve two Brooklyn locations for weekend service at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Atlantic Basin in Red Hook.

“Governors Island is one of New York City’s crown jewels,” said de Blasio. “It’s the kind of beautiful, open public space that we will rely on to drive our recovery this spring and summer. I’m grateful to the Trust for making the Island more accessible than ever this year.”

NYC Ferry will offer additional connections to Governors Island’s Yankee Pier via a dedicated weekend shuttle from Wall Street/Pier 11. All visitors must reserve ferry tickets in advance, and face coverings are required.
