Events & Tours
I need to change or cancel the ticket I purchased. What is your return policy and is there a cost for changing a ticket?
ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Exchanges can be made for a fee prior to the intended date and time of departure. Once the boat has sailed, tickets are not exchangeable, and the value is forfeited; the ticket will be marked as a no show, and you will be required to make a new reservation. Exchange fees are posted on the individual Routes & Schedules pages for each route. Any credits are valid for travel within the same calendar year as the original date of travel.
Please note that West Point, Brunch and Cold Spring tickets are non-exchangeable.
For passengers traveling between New Bedford, and Martha’s Vineyard, or Nantucket:
ALL TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, unless Trip Protection is purchased (please see terms below). Exchanges can be made for a fee prior to the intended date and time of departure. Once the boat has sailed, tickets are not exchangeable, and the value is forfeited; the ticket will be marked as a no show, and you will be required to make a new reservation. Passengers who need to make changes to their reservations will be charged a per-ticket service fee. Any credits are valid through December 31st of the year that the original trip was intended for.
Trip Protection Terms: New Bedford customers who purchase trip protection are able to refund their ticket(s) and parking pass up to two hours before their planned departure time. If your ticket is for a departure earlier than 9:30 AM, you must notify Seastreak by 5PM the day before travel. Trip protection prices are per-ticket and dependent on the ticket type (one-way or round trip), and for which island your ticket has as its destination. The trip protection waives the exchange fees normally assessed for date, or time exchanges. Your exchange must be made within the same time period listed for trip protected refunds (see above). Waiving of exchange fees is limited to one exchange; any additional changes to the date, or time of a ticket will incur a per-ticket exchange fee. Once the boat has sailed tickets are not refundable, or exchangeable, and the value is forfeited; the ticket will be marked as a no show, and you will be required to make a new reservation. Trip protection cannot be added to an order after the purchase is completed and is not refundable.
What types of special events and tours do you offer?

Where do I get off to go to the theater?
The Theater District runs from 6th to 9th Avenues and from 41st to 54th Streets. Your best bet would be to take the Seastreak ferry to the E. 35th St. Ferry Landing. From there you can either walk to your theater or up to 1st Ave for a cab.
Do you go to the Statue of Liberty?
No, although we pass right by Lady Liberty on all of our commuter runs, we do not go directly to the Statue of Liberty. Ferry service to the statue is available from Battery Park, just a short walk from Pier 11. For more information, visit the National Parks Service Statue of Liberty page: http://www.nps.gov/stli/index.htm.
Do you offer dinner cruises?
We do not, but you are welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic drinks aboard our sightseeing cruises; birthday cakes without candles are welcome too! For a more intimate affair, you may want to charter one of our vessels. Learn more about chartering one of our vessels on the Charter A Boat page.
