Dear Seastreak Customer,
We’re writing to share an important update regarding Seastreak’s ferry service from Monmouth County. Beginning September 8, Seastreak will introduce expanded service from Atlantic Highlands and Highlands, including new commuter-focused service to and from Brookfield Place, additional evening and weekend service, and other schedule enhancements based directly on feedback from our recent customer survey.
Many of you are already aware that Seastreak’s operation of the Belford route will conclude on September 4. While we are disappointed by this outcome, we are incredibly proud of the service our team has provided and the growth we achieved during the past three and a half years.
New and expanded service beginning September 8 includes:
- New morning arrivals at Brookfield Place at 6:55 AM and 8:45 AM
- New afternoon departures from Brookfield Place at 4:25 PM and 5:20PM
- Expanded weekday evening service. The popular 8:20 PM departure from East 35th Street and 8:40 PM departure from Battery Maritime Building will now operate Monday through Friday rather than Thursdays only.
- Expanded weekday late-evening service. The 10:30 PM departure from East 35th Street and 10:45 PM departure from Battery Maritime Building will now operate on both Thursday and Friday evenings.
- Expanded weekend evening service. On Saturdays and Sundays, Seastreak will operate a 9:45 PM departure from East 35th Street and a 10:00 PM departure from Battery Maritime Building. A new 8:15 PM departure from Highlands will provide additional flexibility for weekend travel.
- $2 children’s fares. One-way tickets for children age 12 and under will be reduced to just $2.
- Valet parking service is expected to begin in late September at both Atlantic Highlands and Highlands.
Beginning September 8, Seastreak will offer refunds for eligible unused and unexpired Belford tickets. Refund requests will be accepted only during the three-week period from September 8 through September 25, 2026. Customers seeking a refund should email [email protected] on or after September 8 to begin the refund process. An additional email containing more detailed information about the refund process will be sent on Friday.
The complete schedule is attached below. With up to 19 weekday departure options and continued service to Brookfield Place, Battery Maritime Building, and East 35th Street, Seastreak will continue to offer one of the region’s most comprehensive and flexible ferry schedules.
Schedule- Effective September 8, 2026
Thank you for riding with us and for the thoughtful feedback so many of you shared through our recent survey. Many of the schedule changes outlined above came directly from what we heard from customers, and we look forward to continuing to serve you from Atlantic Highlands and Highlands.
Sincerely,
The Seastreak Team
