From Pier 11 to IKEA, sit on the right side to see the Statue of Liberty. Come before departure time as the line is usually long on weekends and they allow a limited number of ppl on boardUpvote1Downvote
Nina LoSchiavoJune 9, 2013If you're easily seasick this tiny boat will knock you around. Take the 4/5/6 to Borough Hall and then the nearby shuttle to IKEA plaza. Will run you the same time or shorter for the same price.UpvoteDownvote

Ellie LeeMarch 26, 2010On a nice day, take the water taxi from Pier 11 to Ikea, you'll have a great view of the city and statue of liberty especially at sunset. Then eat some swedish meatballs and lingonberry juice at Ikea!Upvote4Downvote
Courtney O'ConnellNovember 11, 2012If the captain/security guard thinks your merch is too large, then you're not allowed on. It's completely dependent upon the captain. IKEA should adopt the rule 'If you can carry it, you can ride.'UpvoteDownvote
Tom DiMaggioSeptember 15, 2017Busy on the weekends, so come early! Very fast and efficient way to get to Red Hook.UpvoteDownvote- The NannerpussMay 24, 2010For a great view of Manhattan and Brooklyn and a fun boating trip, take the IKEA ferry from Pier 11 for $5 (redeemable as a coupon @ IKEA and if you spend ~$10/person, free trip back!)!Upvote2Downvote
