Ticketing
Where can I purchase tickets?
Tickets are available for purchase online, at any of the various Seastreak ticket offices in New Jersey, and onboard all of our vessels. Currently, tickets for our commuter routes must be purchased in-person. If you are boarding in Manhattan, you may purchase a round trip or one way ticket onboard the vessel. We also have seasonal ticket booths in Manhattan during the summer for purchasing convenience.

Can I purchase commuter tickets online?
Not yet, but soon! We’re working on a brand new way for NJ and NYC commuters to purchase their tickets online from wherever you are. Stay tuned!
Do I need reservations?
We do not take reservations for our regular commuter runs. Boarding is ‘first come first served’, unless we are priority boarding. For our special events and sporting events, we do take reservations and they are strongly suggested.
Are there child rates?
Children’s tickets cost $22 per Round Trip and $11 per One Way for ages 5-12 . Children who are 4 and younger are free, but will still need a ticket to board the boat.
Do you allow unaccompanied minors?
Seastreak reserves the right not to accept any passenger under the age of 13 years, unless accompanied by an adult.

Is there a special discount for seniors?
Seastreak does offer a senior(65+) discount for passengers travelling directly to/from Belford, NJ. These tickets must be purchased in the Belford Ferry Terminal. Senior tickets are not available from our Atlantic Highlands or Highlands offices.
Do you offer a student discount?
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.
