Information is: Starting in the Bronx at Ferry Point Park (Exit 18 on I687). This is the last exit before the Whitestone Bridge.  It’s about a 10 minute walk from the parking lot to the boat ramp. We would like to embark on the 11:03 AM boat,  from the Soundview dock and transfer at East 90th Street to the Astoria Route. For the return trip, use the Soundview dock. Tickets for the water taxi are $4.00 dollars one way.
