You Didn’t Miss The Boat: Governor’s Island Ferry Gets More Funding

By Idy Perl

If you haven’t made it to Governor’s Island yet this summer, fear not because you still have some time. 

Thanks to a $250,000 state grant the Governor’s Island ferry will continue running until October. Earlier this year, the ferry, which is operated by the Trust for Governor’s Island, announced that due to financial restraints they would only be able to offer ferry service from Memorial Day until the end of June. 

Now with state funding secured, the ferry is able to continue bringing visitors to the 43 acres of beautiful outdoor space.
