Yes! We are happy to offer discounted books for students commuting to the city for classes, or an internship.  In order to be eligible for this discount, there is paperwork that must be picked-up from our ticket office in Atlantic Highlands and filled out by the student, and then by the school, and then returned to us in Atlantic Highlands to verify the students’ full-time-student status. If a student will be using their pass to commute to an internship, they will also need a copy of their acceptance letter to the internship program (in addition to the school verification). Student ticket books can be purchased only in Atlantic Highlands. Student books cannot be shared with anyone- they are only for use by the student with a completed and approved application.

Seastreak ferries are passenger ferries and are not equipped to carry vehicles. Bicycles and scooters are allowed. There is a $5 charge and the bicycles and scooters must be stored outside on our vessels in designated areas. Passengers with any questions may reach out to Seastreak deckhands who will be happy to assist and identify these designated areas.

Unless otherwise noted, the Captain of each vessel will determine if priority boarding will be utilized based upon the volume of customers observed to be waiting to board a given departure.  If priority boarding is required, ticket book holders will be boarded first.  Of these, 40-trip ticket book holders will be first to board, followed by 20-trip ticket book holders, and then 10-trip ticket book holders.

In order for 40-trip, 20-trip, and 10-trip ticket book holders to participate in priority boarding, you must present your ticket book cover along with your ticket.  In the absence of a ticket book cover, customers with 40-trip, 20-trip, and 10-trip tickets will be boarded next along with customers holding other ticket types.

No one-way or round-trip tickets will be sold for priority boarded departures until all ticket holders are boarded.

We love our pets and we’re glad you do too! We welcome dogs and cats onboard many of our trips, but they must be kept on the outdoor decks with a leash. Small dogs in a carrier can be brought inside the vessel. Service dogs are permitted onboard. Pets are not permitted on any Special Event trip, or our NJ/NYC service to Martha’s Vineyard/Nantucket.

Yes! All Seastreak ferries have a full cash bar serving spirits, beer, wine and soft drinks as well as bagged snacks. We allow passengers to bring food onboard, we just ask that you do not bring hard coolers onboard.

The Seastreak catamarans have either two or three decks. The Lower Deck is entirely indoor, the Second Deck is half indoor and half outdoor, and the Third Deck is entirely outdoor.
