For Mets fans in Staten Island and New Jersey, getting to Citi Field just got a whole lot easier. A new private ferry service now connects St. George directly to the Mets’ ballpark in Queens, offering a scenic and stress-free alternative to crowded trains and frustrating traffic.
This unique route, operated by Seastreak, brings a much-needed transportation upgrade for weekend home games. The ferry departs from Highlands, NJ, then stops at Staten Island’s ferry terminal before heading straight to World’s Fair Marina in Queens, just a short walk from Citi Field.
Is the ferry to Citi Field running for all Mets games?
The ferry service is tailored to make game day as smooth as possible. It leaves about three hours before first pitch and returns 45 minutes after the final out, giving fans plenty of time to enjoy the full stadium experience. Round-trip tickets cost $80 and include access to the ferry’s climate-controlled cabin, panoramic city views, and onboard snacks and beverages.
The service only runs on select weekends, so plan ahead if you want to trade concrete for water on your next game day. More info and ticket options are available at the Seastreak website.
Combo packages and game-day vibes
For those looking to simplify their day even further, combo packages are available that include ferry tickets plus 500-level game seats at Citi Field. These packages bring fans together in designated areas, creating a social and spirited “tailgate by sea” vibe throughout the ride.
Onboard, fans can kick off the party early with cocktails, cold beer, coffee, and classic stadium snacks. With stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River, the journey itself becomes part of the game-day experience.
Avoid the subway
This new ferry line gives Staten Island baseball fans a direct link to their team. Also, it transforms what was once a long trip into a highlight of the day. It’s an ideal option for those looking to support the Mets without dealing with transfers, traffic, or complicated parking.
