⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Wall Street Ferry – Pier 11
We absolutely loved our family boat ride arriving at Pier 11 at Wall Street! The location is convenient—right next to the Financial District and beautifully maintained.
Once aboard, the ferry offered spacious seating, clean decks, and unobstructed views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and downtown Manhattan skyline. Our kids were thrilled—spotting boats, tugboats, and landmarks kept them entertained throughout the ride!
