Thank you very much for your comment. There IS Brooklyn service starting at 11 AM tomorrow and Sunday. There was a technical glitch that indicated there wasn’t service but there definitley is service from both Brooklyn and Manhattan for Sept 26 and 27. The schedules on the website and blog are correct. Thanks.

The main Gov Island website says there is ferry service tomorrow – Sept 26 – from Brooklyn. The ferry schedule on the Gov Island blog says there isn’t any Brooklyn ferry service this weekend. Which is correct?

Actually, they land at two different spots, but they’re only .2 miles apart. The Manhattan ferries arrive and depart from Soissons Dock and Brooklyn ferries arrive and depart from Pier 101. You can download a map of the island here: http://www.govisland.com/images/GImap.pdf.

Does the Manhattan ferry and the Brooklyn ferry land in the same spot on the Island? If not, how far apart are they (via walking or bike)?
Thank you.

This year, Governors Island is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through October 11. Each year, we try to open more areas of the Island to the public, and expand what we can offer visitors. While the long-term plans for Governors Island include extending the Island’s hours of operation, for now, we plan to be open from Firdays-Sundays from the end of May to mid-October. We hope this provides many visitors with opportunities to visit, enjoy car-free biking, picnic and more.
