Seastreak Ferry is launching a direct route between Lower Manhattan and Point Pleasant Beach this summer, giving weekend beachgoers a way to skip highway traffic and reach the Jersey Shore by water.<\/p>\n

The high-speed ferry will depart from the Battery Maritime Building and make the trip in about 1 hour and 15 minutes, the company announced. <\/p>\n

It will dock at Captain Bill\u2019s Landing<\/a>, located on the Manasquan Inlet.<\/p>\n

From June 19 through Aug. 9, and Sept. 4 to Sept. 7, ferries will leave Manhattan at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays, while return trips from Point Pleasant Beach will depart at 1 p.m. on Sundays.<\/p>\n

On Fridays, a return departure also leaves Point Pleasant Beach at 1 p.m. for travelers heading into Manhattan.<\/p>\n

Ferry reservations<\/a> must be made in advance. A round-trip adult ticket is $99.<\/p>\n

James D. Barker, president of Seastreak, said in a statement<\/a> that the nonstop service offers a travel time that no other option currently provides.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting from Manhattan to the Jersey Shore in about an hour and fifteen minutes changes the equation entirely,\u201d Barker said. <\/p>\n

\u201cPoint Pleasant Beach is a great destination in its own right, but it also opens up the entire stretch of Shore towns nearby,\u201d he added. \u201cFrom Manasquan to Bay Head, this gives people a clean, direct way to access some of the best spots on the coast without dealing with traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seastreak operates daily commuter ferries between New York City and Monmouth County towns, including Highlands, Atlantic Highlands and Belford. <\/p>\n

During the summer, the ferry adds a daily route between Sandy Hook and Manhattan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other Northeast leisure routes include Nantucket and Martha\u2019s Vineyard in Massachusetts, and Newport and Providence in Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

Seastreak also operates seasonal fall foliage cruises and whale-watching cruises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seastreak Ferry is launching a direct route between Lower Manhattan and Point Pleasant Beach this summer, giving weekend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242885,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-242884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242884\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242885"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
