Getting There

Getting there is one short ferry ride away! For the most up to date information about the Governors Island Ferry, go HERE. For the most up to date information about NYC Ferry, go HERE.
The Governors Island ferry runs on regular intervals from Manhattan to Soissons Landing and from Brooklyn to Yankee Pier. In addition, NYC Ferry runs at regular intervals from Wall Street Pier 11 to Yankee Pier. The ferry ride takes about 8 minutes. Ferry tickets may be reserved in advance. In 2025, reservations are not required, but are encouraged as the ferries will fill up. If you are a Porch Stomp 2025 Artist, we STRONGLY encourage you to aim to take the ferry BEFORE the ferry that gets you there for your set time. Visitors to the Island no longer need to choose a return time when booking ferry tickets – you may leave the Island on any ferry you choose.
