Starting Memorial Day 2025, NYC Ferry will reintroduce the Rockaway Reserve and Rockaway Rocket services, aiming to facilitate beach access amid rising ridership. The NYCEDC reports a notable increase in beach visitors, highlighting the economic impact of New York City's beaches. The Rockaway Reserve will allow reservations for specific ferry trips, while the Rockaway Rocket will offer fast travel between Brooklyn and Queens. This initiative comes alongside the reopening of train services to the Rockaways, reflecting a broader effort to enhance transportation and stimulate economic growth in the city's beach areas.
With summer 2025 just around the corner, New Yorkers are more excited than ever before to take advantage of everything the City has to offer in the warmer months.
We're building on a strong year of ridership and economic data to ensure that we continue to make all five boroughs more accessible and spur economic activity across the City.
