Fire Island Ferry Announces Year-Round Service to Boost Accessibility and Tourism
The Fire Island Ferry has unveiled plans to offer year-round service, making the popular summer destination accessible in all seasons. Previously limited to seasonal operations, the expanded schedule aims to connect residents and visitors to Fire Island’s natural beauty, even during the colder months.
Economic Boost for Local Businesses
Local businesses, including restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts, are optimistic that the extended service will provide a much-needed economic lift during the off-season.
Environmental Benefits
The ferry’s year-round service has also been lauded by environmental groups as a sustainable alternative to car travel.
“This is a win for both the community and the environment,” said a local conservationist.
Preparing for All Seasons
To accommodate the expanded schedule, construction is underway to winterize ferry terminals and ensure reliable operations in varying weather conditions.
A Year-Round Getaway
With the new service set to launch later this year, Fire Island is poised to attract a broader audience and solidify its reputation as a year-round destination. By enhancing accessibility, the ferry is opening up opportunities for more people to experience the charm and tranquility of Fire Island in every season.
